| I was just browsing kiteforum.com earlier today and saw that vid. Pretty good, and at least it's full screen, unlike the ussnowkite.com version. Here's a link to them, though I know most of you have already seen them already... http://www.ussnowkite.com/videos.html

Thanks to Aaron Sales and Alex Peterson for their pioneering in snowkiting in the northwest!
I think we saw this before, but it's worth another look...

| Does anyone know if there's enough (or if there's any) snow at Hospital Hill or Dalles Mt. to ride? I've been wanting to go out there lately, but I haven't felt like driving for nothing. Guess we need wind too.

| Still a good question, any snow on Dalles Mt looks like wind tomorrow.

| I would assume that there isn't much coverage up there, its cold but there hasn't been any precip.

Hey guys..
New to the board and the Gorge... My name is Gregg 'Tekko' Gnecco.
I took that kiteworld shot of Alex, as well as traveled with him exploring most of the stuff on the USsnowkite site.
Jus wanted to save you all the dirve and let you know there is nothing for snow out here, either Dalles MT or Hospital Hill.
Alex and I scored some goods at Timberline though a couple weeks ago, so that is probably the best bet if you're looking for a snow fix. Just be aware, it gets much windier as you ride up higher and higher. Alex was moderately powered on a TD 12 at the bottom and nervous about still holding it at the top.

Welcome tekko, that's some shot you got there. I am not afraid of heights but it kind of gives me the willies if I stare at it too long.
White Salmon is a nifty town, I was just there yesterday looking at houses (okay, really the ones I can afford are like sheds with indoor plumbing.) There are just some amazing views from up there...
Make sure you post any more nifty photos you got, we love them here.
