Mister W

It was a super cloudy session at Lautaret Pass.
Very cold, about -18°c but super light fresh powder snow.
We went to a special spot called Les Clochettes, with my friends Wareck and Régis from Snowkitemasters event.
The first session of the season for Wareck.
Check out the video I made about one of his run really funny :

The session was cool, but the best thing was to be with super good friends.

Kiteloop session.

Well, two days ago, I had a session at Lautaret Pass with the snowkiting guide Johann Civel.
The wind was super gusty, near to be dangerous.
The snow really hard, icy.
Johann went for a kiteloop session, I was only making snapshots, no movie unfortunately.
Here is a pic from the session, Johann is going to the right (his left hand) while the kite make a loop like the clock.
It seems I pushed the button a little bit too late, the kite was more down 1/50 second earlier.
Anyway, I like this pic, not so usual to see the kiteloops from the top.
I wasn't flying above Johann, no, I just went hiking to the top of the hill and the view from upthere was perfect.
A few other moves were more extreme but this one is my favourite as we can see other guys on the ground and that angle gives the power to the picture.
During this session I made probably the best kiteloop picture I ever done, so I keep it for worldwide mags and try to not spread it on the internet.
As soon as the printing is ready with the mags, I will add it here on the blog pages.

Chasta first 2011 Session.

Just back from Tahiti two days ago, Guillaume went to the Lautaret Pass for his first 2011 snowkiting session.
Although the great blue sky, the wind was crazy gusty, the snow really hard and icy.
Anyway, Chasta was happy to meet the new 2011 FRENZY and the 3 dimensional kiting way.
You can check out the session on the video below.
A smooth session, no extreme freestyle, but we really like kiting cool and relax you know.

Alaska 2010.

Good memories from a session on the Sargent Glacier, Anchorage, Alaska, 2010 april.




Now, it's time to go for the same runs, here in France.

The Boolgyloop

Here is the link to a video explaning how to go uphill with a kite on the snow.
You will see three ways about the kite to go uphill.
The third one, called the Boolgyloop is a special loop with three good points.
1-no twisted lines, 2-as many loops as you want in the same direction, 3-you can pull the frontlines to help the kite flying in really light wind.
I call it the Boolgyloop because I find this way by my own on 2005, I never see anybody doing it before.
But may be someone, in his corner, decided to make the same move, it is not impossible.
Anyway, now we call it Boolgyloop and so that will remain in our snowkiting sport :)

Well, let's see the movie here :

THE BOOLGYLOOP


Have great time.
Cheers, Pascal.

Montfroid.

Well, late october, I had my first 2010/2011 snowkiting session.
With a couple of friends of mine, we went to Le Col de la Croix de Fer, France, a super spot not so far from Lautaret Pass.
It was the first snow-fall two days ago, so the 30cm of super light fresh powder were directly on the rocks and stones so it was not so easy to cruise around.
The north wind was super light.
But anyway, we spent a super autumn session, and here is the video, it's my first movie from this new winter, so thank you for your understanding, all is not super perfect :

OK, I wish you the same cool first session as soon as possible.
