Just got back from a Weekend up in the White Mountains in NH checking out the mountains and caves and hiking and stuff and wondered if anyone ever
snowkited up there and where? I was up in Lincoln/Woodstock up that way. I would love to try it out this winter.

I too was in Lincoln / Woodstock over the weekend. We took the kids to the Lost River Gorge and then the Basin and the Cannon Cliffs. We maybe
crossed paths and didn't even know it.
I know Zeb from Powerline runs a kiting instructional school and has stashes in the N. Conway region as well as spots in ME during the winter months
and while those spots look similar to the fields I've observed from Cathedral Ledge, you'd have to confirm with him what is and is not off limits in
the winter months.

Haha B roc we prob did cross paths. I did all that stuff too plus Cannon mt and some zip lining down the mountain at Loon. I will def have to check
with Zeb at Powerline . Thanks

Here's Zeb's info. He's got the snow scene pretty dialed in NH.

Not the safest place to kite on earth. Probably very windy in the winter.

Mount Washington in Winter??? Sheeeshhh that place has the highest recorded surface winds in history at 231mph back in the 30's... Haha I drove up
that Mountain with my car and just about fainted, 2 years ago. I turned pale. I got a 5speed and the steep incline and narrow road on the side of a
cliff, with 2 way traffic and not even paved it's dirt. driving into clouds. I will pass. This year i took the train up and i won't be doing that
again either LOL. The wheels travel in reverse to come down the steep incline. LOL :shocked2:
Thanks for the info guys. I will def look into this as i want to get into snow kiting and it's only about a 3hr drive:bigok:

Dude, come up to Dracut or Wakefield or even some of the parks in Boston in winter and get some riding in that's less than an hour from your home.
You don't need to travel too far for good snow kiting unless you really want to ride in the hills / fields and mountains.

Here's a couple, check out the videos as well. I'm sure there are more.
I'm not sure what happens in July, but I start missing snow-kiting too.
