anyone got info on snow kiteboarding in victoria? where you can do it? found some older posts about mt hotham just cant find anymore info about it. I have never tried it but would love to.
I would also be keen for info on good uncrowded treeless areas in victoria. I was up at Falls Creek and Hotham for opening weekend, and was also hoping to get out for a kite on the snow but it was perfect windless days for lift accessed skiing instead. If anyone is heading anywhere during a Friday/Saturday/Sunday with the intention of going for a kite on the snow let me know so I can split fuel/access costs and come along!
Ye no wind whatsoever over weekend, besides I had a look over the top of the Summit where kiters normally head and there wasnt enough cover yet anyway so I think will have to wait till later on when we will hopefully have a lot more snow!
that's awesome! I want to give it a go this season. What size kite have you been using up there? Also how hard is it to get to a good spot from the village?
I met two other kiters at the top of Ruined Castle, Falls Creek on Monday. It was blowing about 10 to 15 knots, super sunny and the snow was pretty nice. I was on my 12m Switchblade.
There is so much potential for kiting up there! ample amounts of room and any wind direction is possible. I also used skis instead of board. Wicked!!!! Can't wait to do it again. Unfortunately there has been some crazy lows coming through and it's rained from Tuesday to today. arghhh.
