SNOWKITE COURSES
Learning to snowkite in the winter offers skiers and snowboarders the chance to get out and ride snowy fields, mountains and be powered just by wind. Snowkiting is your personal free ski-lift. Once you’ve practised a bit you will sail mountains! Snowkiting is considered a lot easier to learn than kitesurfing, for the simple reason that it’s easier to stand up on snow than it is on water (try it if you don’t believe us).
