Snow Kiting
has blasted on to the Utah map. We are quickly becoming known around country
as the hot spot for snow kiting. Below is a list of sites popular this
winter. Please email a description
to add to these spots.
1. Skyline
-
2. Powder Mountian Resort aka (Pow Mow)
3. Strawberry aka (Strawbs)
4. Monte Cristo
5. Bear Lake
6. Park City - Field near Home Depot
7. Hogans Pass:Say you are at Skyline, and decide to continue over hwy
31 to Huntington. From there head south on hwy 10 towards I-70. At I-70
look for 'fremont jct." and signs for hwy 72 south towards Loa. You
have to drivewest on 70 for a couple miles to find the off-ramp, and then
double-back on the frontage road to catch hwy 72.
Once heading south on hwy 72, you will start to gain altitude as you head
towards Hogans pass. It is also called Thousand Lake mountain area. There
is open sage brush terrain, and a big snow fence near the top. Its not
like Skyline or Strawbs, but it sits around 8,000+ msl and is another
area with similarities, its also in the middle of nowhere!
8.Pineview
Reservoir.-Between windsurfers beach and the spillway is the Dam Keepers
House. Here in the middle of the channel are winds between 5 and 12 miles
an hour just about every morning there is an inversion. The inversions
are frequent and happen during clear cold nights, easy to predict. A cold
clear night after a warm day means higher winds. The area is only a few
hundred yards across but you can work your way up or down from there.
If the ice is covered with powder, bring a big kite. This is the perfect
place for beginners to dial in there skills.
9. Sulphur
Creek
10. POM -
Point of the mountain
