Day 79 of the 2016 season: First snowkiting session of the season

First snowkite session of this winter season. Marginal winds but surprisingly it was enough
to make it work. Craig on his 12M and me on my 13M. Some wind scoured bare spots
to 8 inches of refrozen powder in a limited area. Any more kiters may have been a problem.
Some quick turning downwind carving, toesides, butters, ollies enough wind for all of that.
