Utah Windriders Association

Amazing forecast today with winds in the 30's gusting to 75 mph. Get out your small kites,parkas and white out goggles because its coming in fast, thick and cold this weekend.

Windzup.

I copied these words from the Forecast Discussion:

A WINTER STORM WARNING MEANS A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF SNOW IS
EXPECTED. STRONG WINDS ARE ALSO POSSIBLE. THIS WILL MAKE TRAVEL
VERY HAZARDOUS OR IMPOSSIBLE.

I may be alone in this, but after watching week after week of snow storms pile up like 'normal'. Being snowed in literally in CO last week.... I have to laugh at Al Gore and wonder if he's turning up the heat in his 'Global Warming Hut' to stay warm this winter. I love it when mother nature proves politicians wrong.

Windzup, Snowzup, Spiritzup!

Hey Brian,
My smallest kite is an 08 Access 6M, how will that work in gusts to 75?. Forcast for Sat sounds nasty, Sunday maybe doable, Mon maybe primo. Wheeee 3 day weekend of kiting.

in 2005 Ozone built a few 3 meter Frenzy and Access Snowkites. I have been keeping one aside for just such an occasion. We can tag team and switch off as I imagine I can only hang on for a few minutes at a time. Where's Rob at? These are the winds that I like to see designers test the small kites in

Windzup

OK
Sounds like a plan I'll give you a launch! I wonder if KMan will break out his Small stuff, like, a, maybe a 12M?

You should not talk about things that are obviously beyond your limited comprehension.

Marty,

Don't take offense, Emmanuel is making fun of Al Gore, not Brian. Of course, we shouldn't question global warming. Al Gore invented the internet, he knows all, how dare we mere mortals question his deep and abiding wisdom when it comes to all things climatic.

That's a nice little thread... Yes, good thread... Go night night!

Brian,

Are you serious? You are hardcore my man! We've got 150MPH winds in the Sierras! This is going to DUMP!!!

Yeahoo! Pow Pow on my new Solomon Sandstorms! Demoed em', drove down and bought em'. I love the fat skis. Was interlodged at the Bird Tram Station with the Dubock twins on Saturday before they let us out at around 9AM! My bro and nephews and couple of friends had to get up there at 6AM to beat the canyon closure. Great day huh twins? Good to see you guys!

PS... They had POLE POSITION at the lift, Tie Dye and all.

First on the beach, last to leave, its tatooed on their bodies...The lads are holding at Day 49 already, their ski season debuted Sept. 24, hiking Alta. Full AT gear, dueling lockers at Snowbird, they get up at 430am on a powder day to check the road conditions. If its closure time they hit the 555am bus, sleep in the locker room and ALWAYS are first in line.

If anyone picks them up hitchhiking down I'll give you ten bucks, anything to avoid the UTA bus fiasco. They both hit moguls like a pro Formula board with a 12.0, don't even attempt to ski past them, the prop wash beating you'll get will shock you...

Only one case of frostbite this season, some knee nerve damage, tough hombres...
