If you going for snow kite you have to choose the flat areas with thick powder snow not like this guy who snow kiting close to rocks.
Sorry but thats not true mate at all you can snow kite where ever in the mountains back country is the best actually, the flats are more for the freestyle guys.
Although pretty impressive vid this is not uncommon as far as snow kiting and some guys actually fly the updrafts deliberately I've seen it first hand, I've watched Chasta fly off one mountain peak to another so high up it's freaky, and do it all day everyday like it's normal.
Sure it looks dangerous and it is, the article written below had no idea of the sport whatsoever it's pretty obvious.
As this guy is known as a pretty legendary snow kiter perhaps he knows exactly what he is doing?
Although he did have a little trouble at the wall and I'm sure he didn't expect to be lofted, but I'm sure he's been that high before.
Also from personal experience I know the guys that fly this style kiting mod there rigs, being chicken loop etc is fixed and fly lines are changed out very regularary.
Also they mod there harness to full climbing harness capacity.
