Snowkiting Tips for Beginners

Article Category: Sports

Author Name: Kellie

Snowkiting is an outdoor winter sport that uses wind power to enable a rider to glide on snow or ice. Unlike other alpine sports that rely on gravity for a rider to move downward, a snowkiter can move along any direction by harnessing the power and course of the wind. With adequate gusts of wind and a good kite, a rider can travel at a velocity of 5 to 30 mph for a truly unforgettable adrenaline rush. For people who enjoy alpine sports like skiing, snowboarding and kiteboarding as well as the water sport wakeboarding, snowkiting is a must-try. Those who want to go snowkiting need not go to ski resorts, although snowkiting lessons and venues are also available in majority of these facilities. Snowkiting is a versatile sport that can be played in almost any open area that is windy and snowy enough. Nevertheless, snowkiting can be dangerous if not done properly. Before riding, beginners should read up about the techniques, seek snowkiting tips from experienced riders, purchase the proper gear and practice first.

To be able to go snowkiting, there are two basic requirements: knowing how to fly a kite and gearing up with the right equipment. Firstly, a person who wants to go snowkiting must first learn to fly a two-line kite, at the very least. The aspiring rider can borrow a trainer type of a two-line foil kite to learn the techniques of launching and landing kites. For a 180-pound person, a 3-meter foil trainer is usually more than enough to travel in 20 mph winds and on hard packed snow or ice. Secondly, a beginning rider should purchase the correct gear including the kite, ski or snowboard, helmet, ice claws, harness, pads and winter clothing. Since gear depends on riding style, weight, snow conditions and other factors, it would help to ask some snowkiting tips from seasoned riders before making a purchase.

For obvious reasons, snowkiting is best done during the winter season. In this power sport, practically any wind direction can be ridden. A rule to remember is that the colder air is always denser. Hence, cold air that travels slowly can be pretty powerful. Since winds can be misleading at times, it is advisable for beginners to stick to 15 mph or below until they gain confidence in their skills.

Aside from the ideal time to ride, finding the best place to ride is also one of the most crucial snowkiting tips to follow. A good location for snowkiting would be a large, open terrain with enough snow and strong enough winds. An ideal place for snowkiting would be a big frozen lake covered by about 4 to 6 inches of snow. Such snow is thick enough as padding for falls and yet shallow enough for beginners. More power is needed to move across deeper snows, making such conditions fit only for experienced riders. When choosing a place to ride, snowkiters should make sure they ask permission first before using private lands. For safety reasons, a rider should pick an place that is well away from trees, fences, roads, houses, power lines and other obstructions.
