girlfriend, which is with me since 10 years don't ski. So I'm tired
of waiting alone in the chairlift line for 15 minutes to go downhill
in less than 3 minutes...

I discover your sport and I bought, yesterday, a 7.3 m Frenzy kite. I
never saw such a kite flown.

I own a professionnal weather station, and I'm waiting for a day when

the field. The snow is not dammed, so i want to know if it is hard to
snowkite in such conditions...

Martin.
