From warm Caribbean water to chilly Utah snow just a few flights

// March 13th, 2010 // Liquid Force Travel, REAL Travel

After a great trip through the BVI’s for the BVI Kite Jam and a Moorings charter with Davey Blair and John and Alexis Bilderback it was off to Utah for Liquid Forces’ Snowkite On The Road tour and the Superfly Open. Talk about a drastic change!! Packing in boardshorts and no shirt at 5am on the Moorings dock in Road Town, Tortola to walking around in the snow in Park City in shorts by 10pm!

On the first day here we scored a GREAT snowkite session just outside of town in Park City. Julien Fillion, Brandon Scheid, Craig Cunningham, Arla Funk and I rode for over 3 hrs finding some great natural terrain to explore. Julien and I were also able to test some of the new 2011 kites during the session. Check out the LF Kites post from Day 1 of our snowkite tour.

On day 2 Arla, Craig, and I joined longtime friend Amy Fike for some shredding at The Canyons for some gravity fed snow training for this weekends Superfly Open at Powder Mountain. The groomers were perfect to cruise and the park was SICK! To top the day off we scored another kite session in the evening. The wind was a bit on the light side but it was great to test the low end of the kites and also session a small kicker that had been built a few days earlier and was set up perfect! Check out the LF Kites post from Day 2.

Waiting on some new snowkite boards to arrive today from Decosse Customs and then it is off to Powder Mountain for a weekend of shredding!

Hope to see you on the snow!
