The one thing I'm completely unprepared for in DePower land is really high wind. I'm looking to pick up another 10m-16m arc that actually turns, but I
could use your opinions on what TYPE of depower is best for 25+ mph winds.
I have only flown Arcs and LEIs to date. I always fly gusty inland winds, landboard, snow kite on skis and plan on Buggying.
Thanks in advance... Go!

As your skill level increases what you consider high winds will increase.
With the insane punchy conditions that CO can deliver, I would recommend a LEI/ARC/Closed Cell Foil, in that order...
5-7m Lei(low aspect non C), 9-10m synergy/VII, 5-7m ccf....

Nice. That's the direction I was leaning after flying the Guerilla / Waroo back to back, but I wanted to hear some old timers' opinions (like Nick)
How long till you're back in action?

Will be flying at the final Dillon Snowkite Event 3/2-3 for sure...
