Hi everyone,
Even tho the snow in the Alps and all around Europe is still not as we expect it to be, there are some people discovering new high altitude spots either by hiking or Snowkite up to the plateaus and mountains. Read below for Bens news and watch his video featuring some fresh powder snowkiting at its finest.
Cheers Dom

The lack of snow near Grenoble leads us to search for new higher spots and fortunately the French Alps are full of them ! Most of the time without any road or ski lift around, we have to get up there by ourselves. When the wind reaches the right direction you can use your kite as a ski lift and it becomes “the” perfect session that you will remember for years. Thanks to these new kites that have more stability and depower, they give us the possibility of awesome backcountry kiting.
Here is a short clip giving an overview of such sessions in January 2007:
