Another from Hanno's.

Looks like plenty of snow!

As for a map I can put something together in google if people familiar with the area send me the info on spots and good wind directions.

I know of Hanno lot ( best wind directions?) I know there's something on rector rd, and some sites near Adams center. Bob, if you and Jan put together a list of sites I can put them on a map for the community to use....That way come January everyone can find everyone else, it's a pretty massive area of good kiting..

So, plenty of snow, it's all up to the wind now. I guess it always comes down to that. If we could only convince the wind farm guys to reverse a couple of those turbines, and turn them into giant wind machines....

Thanks for that bigben, I will be getting with Jan this weekend regardless of wind conditions. We will see what we can come up with. I like N or NE wind for Hanno's, just because it blows you toward the back of the lot, away from the road. (for us that still struggle with that sort of thing.)

Snow looks good... now, as Bob said, we just need wind...

I think Hanno's also works on a West.. Ridden there in that direction as well. Gets bouncy as you work up the hill, but riding down the hill with the wind at your back, means nice jumps...

The Honeyville field works on either west or south winds. Tree line on the north side kind of precludes wind from that direction. Some of the other fields just up the road from there are good on north and west directions as well. There is also the field on the other side of the road from the Honeyville site that would probably work on a North as well...

The map doesnt seem to display properly. I think that field you have it coming up on is Hanno's lot. Good place to ride, nice hill, etc. I'll u2u my e-mail address and add some stuff there...

Perfect!!

@ ragden, just sent an invite to edit the map so please have at it. As for displaying hanno's lot, that's not an error, I put that in, I also put in rector rd but I'm not sure of the limits of the lot....

Hey bb, great idea! Add me and I will add what-ever mike doesn't. edit: rector rd looks fine. there's usually a stretch along the road by the snowmobile crossing you can park along, but the shoulders of the road could be soft.

Bob, just send an invite to give you access to the map.

I added a pinpoint on the general location of the "new lot" in Evans Mills that we rode on Sunday. Wind was kind of light(for my weight/kite,lol) but working from the WNW.

Now when I click the map link, I don't get the site locations?

Awesome. That actually shows up properly for me now.. Thanks bud!

That map is shaping up nicely! Now if we get the snow back, we'll be ready!

very nice guys.. ... this is gonna help to all of us...thanks

well done

I see in a couple of other threads there might be travel for the weekend being planned. After last weekends rain took most of our snow away here in the valley, I'm not too sure what is left for snow on the hill. I'm gonna get at least to Hanno's tomorrow morning, I'll go right across the hill and check Honeyville, too, if I can swing it. Wind looks to be W to WSW on Sat. @ 10-15, and same direction Sun. @ ~10. Will post pics tomorrow.

Good deal Bob, thanks for the update. May try and get up there Saturday if conditions are good enough. The MIL will be in town so it's a perfect excuse to get out of the house for the day.

Who else was comin up?

If there is snow and wind, I might come up. Would prefer riding conditions both days to make the 7.5hr drive worthwhile...

This doesn't look like the weekend for the Tug, guys. I just did a circuit from the new lot in Evans Mills through Honeyville and back across to Hanno's, and the Hanno lot looked deepest with about 6" Pics to follow.

Here's the new lot in Evans Mills.

Fassett Rd. South.

Fassett North EDIT: oops! that's the corner at Honeyville.

Hanno lot.

That does NOT look promising. Bummer.
Maybe next weekend.
Guess its off to The Bowl on Sunday (if winds hold enough northerly..)
Thanks Bob, really appreciate the update!!!

Lake effect snow is shifting to the north of Syracuse , so keep a close eye on Tug Hill the site conditions could change overnight.

While this is definitely a possibility.. Wind predictions for Sunday still dont look too hot... Hopefully that changes, but hard to plan a trip when the wind doesnt look like it will be there...

Yeh, it's been snowing here all day, but not piling up. Wind predictions have changed 3 times since yesterday, up a little, down a little. I thought it looked like you folks down DC way might get some weather this weekend? Snow and cold? Here's hoping for ya!:bigok:
