Snowkite Summit Event Focuses on Growing Snowkiting Despite Lack of Early Season Snow
Skyline, Utah, United States - December 1, 2008 - Industry gathering at the world renowned snowkiting destination will focus on developing the action sport despite lack of early season snow.
At the forefront of the action sport of snowkiting, the Snowkite Summit is a gathering of the industry leaders to discuss and plan the growth of the sport. A series of sessions, talks and roundtable discussions including Wilderness Medicine for snowkiters, a snowkite Avalanche clinic, industry discussions and the premier of the new snowkite film Dimensions.
An early season storm brought approximately 20 inches of snow in early November, but unseasonably warm weather and a ridge of high pressure has kept the storms that bring the world famous Utah powder out of Utah. “We have had great early season conditions every year for the Snowkite Summit,†says Heather Schenck of Windzup one of the organizers of the event. “Last year a storm dropped 30 inches the day before the event and it snowed all weekend.â€
There is one more possibility for snow in the forecast before the start of the event on Friday the 5th. Skyline will need at least a foot of snow to cover the remaining 4 inches and exposed rocks before it will be safe for beginners to snowkite.
“Although we are all excited to snowkite after a long summer, sometimes the weather doesn’t cooperate,†says James Brown the Creative Director of Drift Snowkite Magazine and co-organizer of the event. “Even if there isn’t snow, we can still demo the new kites from the top manufacturers. It will be good to see what all the different brands have out this year.†Event sponsors and exhibitors at the event include Best Kiteboarding, Concept Air, Flysurfer, HQ Powerkites, Mystic, Ozone Kites, Ska Brewing, Twisted Snowkiteboards, and Zeal Optics.
The Snowkite Summit runs Thursday, December 4th through Sunday, December 7th and is free and open to the public. The Snowkite Summit Sessions will be held in Kite Hall in Fairview, Utah and the on-mountain clinics will be held at the Skyline event site off of highway 31.
