Day 21 of the 2015 season: Trying to squeeze in a last Snowkite session - poor conditions prevailed

Short session - I been monitoring the wind all evening when it suddenly spiked up around 5:00.
The wind remained up beat for an hour or so. Craig and I headed out to what could be the last local snow session of the season. We found good winds when we arrived. We quickly rigged in 40+ degrees, clear sky with the sun getting low,  with very wet snow conditions.

Conditions started out pretty lousy and the temperatures were dropping below freezing. Then the wet crud changed to frozen crud.
Had to rate this session a 1 star out of 5 stars.



Highlight: Stoked for a sunset session - it happened
but snow conditions were lousy
