So if we have a "winter weather event" here in Portland, where is everyone going to get their snowkite on???

Also, how's the hood looking? Hospital hill anybody?

there was plenty of snow around this morning in the Hood but I don't think enough wind. It was turning to wetter snow/rain when I left this afternoon, but I think tomorrow its supposed to be colder.

I got till Wednesday to do the urban kiting, I am definitely in if snow hits. Very Happy Heard the ASI crew had good luck at Delta Park a couple years back?

Also, Blue Lake Park may work when the freezing rain and east wind hits later this week… The Schenk brothers kited there at the last big ice storm a couple years back.

Be sure to bring your hockey pads for urban-auto kiting… Wink http://www.break.com/index/snow_sailing_street_jump.html

Yeah...I was looking at a few areas in and around blue lake too. Maybe even a little farther east too, like that big park on the north side of 84 just past the sandy river. Shit...we need some sno first though

JP and I played in Reynolds High School's field last year around this time. No snow but the wind was psycho. Almost got T-bagged into some houses on my 7m!
