How it works.....

Level One is a few hours flying a trainer. We look at kite construction, set up, bar and lines, flying theory, safety, wind and weather.
We review all equipment required for kiting on snow from skis to snowboards helmets, harnesses and 4 line bow kites with a 5th line safety.

Level Two, You learn to ride! You fly full sized kites. We teach you safety releases and procedures. Time to fly the kite and get pulled along the snow! You learn to Launch, Land and depower the kite. By the completion of Level 2 you’re usually up and riding on your own, riding upwind and controlling the kite, making smooth transitions and small jumps. We supply kites and harnesses; you only need to bring winter clothing, helmet and skis or snowboard.

Group Lesson Discount:
Bring some friends along! If you have a group that is interested give us a call and we can work something out.

PLEASE NOTE: other than the introductory first flight kite lesson, it is a prerequisite that you be at the intermediate snowboarder/ski level before attempting to kite ski or kite snowboard.
