The Snowkite Summit held at Skyline Drive in Utah represents a sort of opening to the snowkite season and is a chance for riders and key industry participants to ride together and exchange ideas and visions regarding the sport of snowkiting. Skyline drive is about an hour and a half south east of Salt Lake City and sits at 10,000 feet along hwy 31 where the road crosses the wide open high plateau where snow is plentiful and the wind is pervasive. Skyline Drive has become the number one snowkiting destination in the US and continues to grow in popularity year after year. Historically, Heather and Brian Schenk of Windzup, the Ozone Kites distributor for America, have pulled this event together and worked on behalf of the love of the sport to make it happen. This year they had help from Dave Grossman and James Brown of Drift Snowkite Magazine who helped put together a great weekend. The group would meet during the mornings and evenings to listen to talks, watch videos and slide shows, and to discuss the state of the sport. Present were people from as far as Quebec Canada and and Northern Europe and as close as Fairview the local town. Read the whole article at Ozone.
