Custom Snowkite Guide days at Lukmanierpass 14.+15. Jan 10
Just back from a guiding weekend in the Alps. Lex and Patrick from Luxembourg booked me as their guide for 2 days and we were lucky to find perfect conditions at the Lukmanierpass. Lex never snowkited before but did some courses kitesurfing and is an excellent skier so he got the hang of it on the 8m Access XT in no time. Patrick has been on a Greenland crossing expedition where they were using kites but he never kited in the mountains so there was still plenty for him to learn. Actually Patrick edited a book so called “Ice Flow” of his Greenland trip which is very nicely written in French, German and English and with tons of great pictures. Available here http://tageblatt.editpress.lu/iceflow.html
The conditions couldn’t be any better on Friday with strong 20knots northerly winds and blue sky with 10cm of fresh powder. Saturday wind changed direction to south and got weaker with around 10 knots. Anyway we all had a great time and loads of fun. Check out the pictures of the guys ripping.
