Yesterday's trip to the old ski bowl at shasta really opened my eyes to how fortunate we SO.Kats are for snowkiting. It took a lil hike in to get above the treeline, but once we saw the terrain it was like the boston marathon!

flats, rolling hills, cliffs, you name it the ski bowl has it. Some of the best riding i've had all winter. We attemped to summit, but the winds we're coming from the west a lil to much (south is ideal) and made a big wind shadow @ around 9000ft, there is a big rocky ridgeline that acts as a wind wall. i could see the "red dot" was just outta reach no matter how much we tried.
