Steady and dry session for 1.5 hours. Not as cold as I thought The sun and the constant movement kept me warm and at times sweaty.

Tomorrow I hope would be a repeat. Outflows are here in preparation for a strong low pressure coming Sunday

Good company of 4 snow kiters
2.5 hour session with 8m + skis. Good way to end 2021 and welcome 2022

Great bluebird day snowkiting at Green Lake with AJ (8m+skis), Sandra (9m+skis), Scott (11m+skis) and Lester (5m wing+snowboard).

Under NE 10 knots but 12m Airush Ultra + snowboard worked for me.

Monday Feb 21 is looking a likelihood of wind at Greenlake. With NE wind nearly everywhere I say the odds are really good. Too bad for me I’m stuck here in Tofino


Hope someone get some
