SHASTA....the REAL DEAL          Northwest Kiteboarding -> Gorge / Portland / Oregon Coast previous topic :: next topic   Author Message Sol-flyer Since 21 Mar 2006 1280 Posts Dude, where's my Bus? Otto Mann Tue Mar 11, 08 8:33 am    Mt. SHASTA....the REAL DEAL 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.  Sunset  Copy of IMG_1085.JPG     Copy of IMG_1080.JPG   close-up  Copy of IMG_1079.JPG     Copy of IMG_1062.JPG     Copy of IMG_1043.JPG     Copy of IMG_1042.JPG   summit kite  Copy of IMG_1027.JPG   whats below  Copy of IMG_1026.JPG     Copy of IMG_1024.JPG     Copy of IMG_1016.JPG     Copy of IMG_1012.JPG   Sun Rise  Copy of IMG_1003.JPG  _________________ I stretch my wings and pull the strings Last edited by Sol-flyer on Tue Mar 11, 08 7:57 pm; edited 1 time in total Speedo Since 07 May 2007 264 Posts Obsessed Tue Mar 11, 08 8:44 am     nice pics!
