- Enjoy an exciting day learning this new sport on scenic Lake Dillon
Description:
You may be an expert skier or snowboarder, but 80% of Snow Kiting is kite control. Controlling the kite is a skill that takes some time and instruction. Let us teach you the skills to become a Snow Kite Master!
First, you will learn the about fundamentals of kiting and what we call the "wind window". Next you'll head out onto the snow and start off learning to fly a smaller kite (one that is not big enough to lift you off the ground, so don't worry!). You'll learn to launch, de-power, and land the kite safely. Once comfortable, you can hop on a pair of skis and give it a go.
After completion of this class, you will receive your Level 1 Pilot Certification which puts you one step away to experiencing kiting on your own.
Let kite boarding open the door to fun and adventure for you!
