Local Info for each Snowkiting Location

[Kenny]

I have noticed that some of the newbies and visitors really struggle since they do not know the specific info at each snowkiting location. For example, Derek's hole at Skyline (the windshadow in the valley at the base of Bosco on the south side) or that the wind does not blow nearly as hard at Strawberry River as it does at Chicken Creek East and other locations to the east. We have the snowkiting page that lists each location. I am going to work on some specific information that will help new riders and visitors so that they have a more enjoyable experience and avoid some of the pitfalls.

I would appreciate your thoughts on what information to include. I was thinking of the following:
Best Wind Direction
Wind Shadowed areas
Obstacles/Hazards (Trees, rocks, snowmobiles, thin ice, etc.)
Natural Features (hills, half pipes, etc.)
Closest Wind Meter
Local Camera
Basic riding description

If you would like to go ahead and compile for your favorite location, that would be very useful information.

Kenny that would be great! Since I'm a total snowkite newbie, I think that type of info is really helpful. Most of you hard core guys are looking for lot's of wind, and challenge, as I would be for windsurfing. But now I'm starting again, and want mellow steady wind and a safe flat easy area to learn. I think this will be helpful to quite a few of us. Thanks Again.
