Where to Ride 2/15 - Sunday
Posted: Sat Feb 14, 2009 11:09 pmI am sure some of you went kiting today, please post as I am curious what happened today.
Tomorrow, expect a great day at Skyline and PowMow with S wind in the mid to upper-teens could be much stronger in the afternoon. Wind may be SE all day at Skyline or may start canting to the West later in the day.
The point forecast is not good for Strawberry, but I think it will blow there. May be light and inconsistent, but the south winds are strong enough that it should fire. May be a good day to scope at the Marina and get fresh tracks in some deep, untouched pow. Speaking of deep untouched pow, the Reserve at Skyline should be sweet tomorrow. The wind will be lighter than up top, but should still be good on a large kite and long board.
Evanston should also be good for mid to upper-teen wind. PC may go off as well.
Expect powder everywhere tomorrow, except perhaps Evanston.
President's day looks like more wind and more clouds as an energetic front moves in late in the day.
I went skiing at Brighton today, found some good powder, but I have to say that I get more good powder riding in 30 minutes of kiteboarding than a day of chairlifts. The only satifying part of the day is that my 12 year old son, Jack can now negotiate black diamond runs with deep, cut-powder conditions - he made his dad proud. This evening I went to the Spaghetti Factory with my son (wife is out of town). It is sad how Trolley Square has turned into a ghost town.
