I just got back from a six week snowboarding trip to chile and managed to get in a good week of snowkiting. Ive been snowboarding for ages but nothing beats the feeling snowkiting can give u in the right conditions. Also the ability to explore non accessible areas that the rest of the chair crew cannot get to (ie fresh runs all day)...
here is a short clip our friends in chile put together after only a few days of riding.
the manta2 I used is a awesome kite for freeriding if ur looking to get into snowkiting. so easy to pack away and launch/land at the top of gusty mountains.
