posting kite videos of the trip. We will see ya when we get back.
Jan. 31st: 8'' last night and still snowing!!! I don't know what to say, this
is a crazy big snow year. East winds are good today but I am not sure
that you can get up to the camas valley. The snow is drifting badly.
Jan.30th: 8'' more last night, and still snowing on and off. Good west
winds to day 15-25 mph. Conditions are insanely good. Tomorrow looks
like another super stormy day. Noaa is predicting 5-9'' more. Winds are
going to change from easterlies to westerlies mid-day. Ride the storm out!
Jan.29th: 10'' more yesterday!!! I can't believe this snow season! It is like
nothing i have ever seeing. Sure makes you wonder about global
warming. Today is strong East winds, but visibility is crap.
Jan. 28th: Snowing like crazy! 6'' last night, and going strong. Coverage
is endless and this point. Kite anywhere you want, only the tallest of
bushes are visible.

today.

degrees.

going to be little kite weather.
Jan 13th: Winds were none existent until 2:30pm and then it blew NW @

up. Monday looks like strong winds out of the SE, we will see if it fills in
the Camas.

headed up to the Snowpark to build some kickers, and ride sleds.
