Snow Kiting is the latest craze to hit the slopes. An exciting and spectacular winter sport using large highly controllable kites blasting riders along with just the power of the wind. The feeling of pulling big air with the power of the wind & the kite is simply amazing.

Combine snowboarding and kiteboarding and you have snowkiting. Snow Kiting is a lot easier to learn than kiteboarding on the water and it also takes a lot less wind to drive a board across snow than it does across water. Once your kite is launched and you begin your descent it is far easier to keep yourself on the snowboard.

You can either snow kite with skis or a snowboard; whichever one makes you feel the most comfortable although many riders prefer to use the board as there is more flexibility and ease.

Experience this mind blowing sport yourself. Kite Republic can get you started providing lessons and equiptment. All you need is wind.
