I agree, see article "Waiter, There's a Hole in my Snow Cover!"

And to top that, the next storm looks like more of the same.

Mood: They're ALL good ideas. Right up until they become BAD ideas.

It started out as a "wait, I think I feel a breeze!......no, that wasn't it" kinda morning but wrapped up a great light wind day. I didn't have my
meter out but I'd say it peaked around 9-10 knots in the gusts but held a solid 7 or 8?

That was GREAT ! Thanks for taking the Photos Kiteboyza !
Fantastic to see all the innovations Pansh is coming out with. I am not completely in touch with the " race " kite scene ? Is that sleek new material
similar ( only seen anything like it on S.C. kites ? ) to what most of the other race kites will be moving to ?
Not a ton of wind to play with but plenty of new friends ! As always I learned a few things . ALREADY knew that my 15 Charger will not self inflate
below 8kts 
Pansh is really working on better and better kites. If you put a knew Pansh next to my old Ace you would never believe they are from the same company
! HUGE steps in upgrading everything from lines to bridles to canopy materials !! 
That " kite panel " is the ANSWER ! I never fully understood how it works. The example I saw seemed all about pockets . I never clued in the it's real
function. For those that missed it. The kite panel is a piece that zipps to your own jackets zippers on each side and has a nice little cut out in the
panel for your spreader hook ! Simple way to create a snowkite jacket from your favorite one! COOL!
Albertans truly ARE the friendliest people you can meet ! :cool2:
Kites: 2.5m Profoil , Quadrifoil XL kitesurfer, NPW 5 Danger.
Flexifoil: 1.7m Sting, 4.9m Blade 3, 9m Blade 2.
