I knew that kitesurfing was huge, but I was unaware that
snow kiting was big. And
apparently it isn’t that new. Matty McNair, the famous explorer who led the first all-women’s trip to the North Pole in
1997, has used kites and skis to speed across open stretches of the frozen Arctic for years. It actually sounds pretty
fun, albeit cold. The site here
at away.com has got some info on winter kiting and how in the heck it came to be.
