Most Recommended and Popular Places to Go Snowkiting

Article Category: Advice

Author Name: Kellie

The extreme sport known as snowkiting has become a favorite among power sports enthusiasts and adventure seekers. It was originally used by arctic explorers to tow their sleds on ice at fast speeds. Members of such polar expeditions would use a kite's power to tow their sleds over great distances. In the late 1990's, power sports enthusiasts devised ways to convert the kites into gear that would be safe enough to use as a form of recreation. Thus, snowkiting emerged as a sport that combined the elements of snowboarding, skiing, wakeboarding and kitesurfing. Today, snowkiting is viewed as an alpine sport that makes the winter season something to look forward to. Every year, tons of tourists have made it a point to visit popular places to go snowkiting.

Snowkiting is similar to kitesurfing but different because the rider uses skiing or snowboarding footwear to glide on snow. Holding a kite control bar specifically designed for snowkiting, the rider allows himself to be pulled by the kite as it is blown by the wind. The special kite control bar is comparable to the tow rope used in wakeboarding and is fitted out with steering precision and safety features. This way, the rider can adjust the speed and direction depending on his preference. Using the kite's power, a rider can move at a speed of 5 to 30 mph. Additionally, a 10 mph wind or stronger will make it possible for a rider to be pulled upwards to about 50 feet in the air. Some adrenaline junkies even launch themselves hundreds of feet up in the air over cliffs and hillsides and then use kites as parachutes while they descend.

Other alpine sports rely on gravity and on the slope of a mountain for movement. However, snowkiting also makes use of kinetic energy transferred from the gust of wind to the kite that in turns pulls the rider. For this reason, snowkiters have the unique privilege of being able to travel both downhill and uphill. Snowkiting has become such a big hit that virtually all ski resorts now offer snowkiting along with skiing and snowboarding. Ski resorts typically have instructors that offer snowkiting lessons for a fee. For people who want to ride without having to visit ski resorts, large and open terrains like frozen lakes and snowy fields are good places to go snowkiting.

A good place to go snowkiting should have adequate snow and wind. The sport can be best learned on flat and open grounds such as frozen lakes covered by about 4 to 6 inches of snow. Popular places to go snowkiting can be found in Switzerland, Russia, Sweden, Austria, U.S., Canada, Iceland, Norway and Germany. In the U.S., popular paces to go snowkiting include Mammoth Lakes in California, Green Mountain Reservoir in Colorado, Mossehead Lake and Rangeley Lake in Maine, Lake Calhoun, Lake Minnetonka and White Bear Lake in Minnesota, Lake Winnipesaukee in New Hampshire. Payette Lake in Idaho, Lake Champlain in Vermont, and Buffalo Bill Reservoir, Fremont Lake and Medicine Bow National Forest in Wyoming.
