We got our second storm of the season and the pass is still open for a few days. I decided to see If it was worth trying to kite. I never found any
wind and didnt get to fly a kite, even thought I carried it on my back for 5hrs. I had a great day enjoying colorados incredable blue skys and
wounldnt describe this as getting skunked.There were so many people who were super stoked and it was great to be there.

hey bv
is that Independence Pass or Cottonwood?
BV Eric - 28-10-2011 at 06:18 PM
I am glad to see some one knows the area. This is Independence pass and my favorite place to ride when I can get up there.The spring time is the best.
I also usualy get a few days at cottonwood before they close the gate too. I think it was you who posted about thirty nine mile mountain area, I have
checked it out and think it could be very good. I just havent seen snow over there in awhile, I bet 2008 was incredable over there.
I have so many places in my mind that I want to ride, just seems most guys just want to make it easy and hit the lake.
I am searching for hiking kiters, anyone out there?

I'm in Canon City and know most of the state by heart, we have sleds and are ready to rock, we can tow you in, let me know.

g-force, my friend we need to talk. I have been riding sleds in this area way before I heard of kites. When I saw chasta's videos I thought, that
looks just like home. Tought croud around here so I am kind of embaresed to say I have one. To me its just another tool, like your truck, skies, or
underwhere. I have been riding snowboards since 1987 and I know what its like to be diffrent. This is the place for back country riding. When you say
we, are there othere kiters with sleds down there? I find this an extention of white water kayaking, I bet you are a boater?
