Utah Windriders Association

Arrived to 25+ kites in the air. I could not see all of them as a blizzard was forming. I decided to skip the crowds and drove up to the ridge. Rode for about 1/2 hour a little underpowered on my 9.5. Decided to rig my 12 and of course the wind accelerated. Put the 9.5 back up and decided to do a downwinder to Bosco Hill. I rode through the launch area a little underpowered and kite looped up Bosco. The wind on top of Bosco was 25mph and visibility was poor, I could barely see my kite. I found a spot lower on the hill where the wind was a bit lighter and the visibility was excellent. Rode for over 2 hours in 12 - 18" of light powder with not another soul in sight. Today it paid to be a local! The out of state kiters were all clustered on the flats trying to avoid running into one another as squall after squall came by.

ahh avoiding the masses was half the fun

there were a lot of much better spots though, Im just too afraid to be strapped into a kite on my own
