Yup that's it. Still there.
No wind today but nice and sunny warm enough to get some suntan. Next time I shall bring my skates.

I might go tomorrow, Monday. Should be windy: N outflow. :)
Skates did not work for me after the ice got soft, as the surface kept crushing and I was tripping even when tried with the kite, so switched back to snowboard.
The hockey players were leaving too as soon as the ice got soft.

Was in Green lake after snowboarding and it was a little windy enough for my 9m kite, but I was tired to go by myself and the sun was setting down pretty quick so I bailed.

hit up Green Lake on Sunday (26th). Wind was very off and on from 1:00 until around 3:30 then it seemed to pick up to a steady 10 knots.

Ice was rock hard and I don't think I would have had any luck edging on my snowboard so I just skated around with my 2m octane. The fixed bridle can stay in the air in a few knots while my SLE would have been on the ice half the time.

Beautiful day.

Knee, elbow and butt pad for on/off conditions. I really hate these conditions. I recall in Spray Lakes Alberta the wind would go from 0 to 20 knots -- scare the crap out of me.
