Lautaret holidays

Another best snowkiting day at the Lautaret pass.

Two days of strong snowstorm and the road to the pass closed.

First day with blue sky and so cool fresh powder.

Great to have our HQ Powerkites big boss Jan-Hendrik here with us.

And smooth towing session with Alix.

GG on his way to the summit we can see in front of us.

Well arrived in Roccaraso, Abruzzo, Italy.

We are here for the European Snowkite Contest with Kitetracker and Alto Sangro resorts.

The competition is a race on a really large terrain.

The results are decided after checking out the Kitetracker files.

But today, tuesday 28th, the contest is not already On and that was a cruising session to check the spot.

Amazing conditions we had as a very strong N/O wind was blowing about 30-40 knots.

We went twice behind the ridge you can see on the photo above and as well really far on the right to the northern area of the spot.

Tomorrow wednesday 29th will be the real competition with all kiters coming from all over Europe.

Big powder on the Monte Greco area.

Short blue sky window

After a few days with endless snowshowers and foggy bad weather, there had been a short blue sky window on last wednesday 22nd.

So I let all my job to do on the laptop and went straight to the Lautaret Pass for a cool session on the southern area.

So cool to meet all my friends up-there once again.

Some staying here a few days more after the crazy Snowkitemasters week.

Super blue sky all the day long, perfect fresh powder snow, and pretty stable 15knds south wind blowing until the night.
