Snow Kiting

So, for John's birthday I took him Snow Kiting (Kite Skiing). It's a lot like Kite Surfing, but instead of being on a surf board in the water, you are on your skis on the frozen lake. The lake is about a foot frozen ice now. It typically gets up to 3 feet by the dead of winter. People drive their cars and trucks on the ice. CRAZY!

Here are some pic so you can get a better idea:

There he goes...

Me practicing flying the kite. It was so strong that it would drag you. Which is why the instructor is holding on to my harness! I got going with the skis too, but didn't get any pics :(
