Snowkiting

Snowkiting is an outdoor winter sport that combines aspects of kitesurfing, with snowboarding or skiing. The results are a spectacular extreme sport you can do anywhere with snow. So where to snowkite? Hopefully this worldwide snowkiting travel guide will help you to decide.

Snowkiting differs from other snow sports, in that it is possible to travel uphill with ease. In fact kites have been used to travel across both the polar regions.

Like kitesurfing, snowkiting can be very hazardous, and should be practiced with care. You really should be a proficient skier or snowboarder before trying it and take lessons for the kite aspect. It is not really a sport you should be teaching yourself.

Where to snowkite? Well snowkiting is popular in and around ski resorts the world over. But because you don’t need mountains it is also fun on flat ground or even frozen lakes. Many of the same aerial kitesurfing tricks can be performed, although the landings can be a little harder.

Snowkiting travel is not yet a huge industry. But if you want to get away to learn there are holidays, courses and day experiences to choose from below.
