Session 2 of the 2017 Snowkite season: Fresh snow cover on Lil Glen Lake


Gear can get buried quickly with all of the blowing snow. 24 hours ago this was rock hard bare ice.





IT'S SUNNY !
Nearly epic snowkite conditions, fresh 2-8 inches drifting snow. Sometimes you'd scrap the ice below the snow, other than that it was a powdery, quiet ride.

TOW:  (Time on the snow) one hour and forty five minutes from 3:00 - 4:45
Gear:   11 M Z1 and TT
Surface Conditions:  3-8 inches of freshies with no base
Weather: finally I can see some sunlight, 26 degrees and dropping
Wind: west to 30 mph
Highlights:  nice smooth dryer powder - just 24 hours ago this was down to bare ice.
