Hey bennie - I would like to have a crack at kite snow boarding and where you are talking about I know well - as is the area above Crackenback chair at Thredbo
From friends that have pulled lifts and are into kitesurfing I hear they reckon there wold be around 8 days a season in Australia that would be good - seriously ????
Any blue day is calm - any blowing day is a white out - got to pick the gusty NW ahead of the next change - Sounds like you need to live on the mountain to grab 'the ' day !! I hope my assessment of the opportunities is wrong cuz I so want to have a go - but I hear the same time after time- limited days :-(
In my experience of the mountains I think your about right, I reckon you need to be johnny on the spot. I live 2 hours away so its doable as a day trip, but a long drive if you don't score.
