Les Estables - Snowkite Session 22

After a massive snowfall, we decided to try our luck for a powder session. Good thing we had a serious 4x4, because we did the 120km distance (x2!) in snow covered roads and (even) highways! Too much wind and low visibility didn't allow for a decent session in Les Estables, so we had to choose a small "spot" further down to kite.
But we did have a lot of fun when, seeing the 10cm (or sometimes more) of fresh snow in the smaller roads, we tied a rope to the back of the Defender...

Supeyres - Snowkite Sessions 20 and 21

Finally, a truly good session on the pearly white! This Winter was starting to get on my nerves, but nothing like sun, wind, fresh powder and a huge spot for just four friends to get me fully motivated for the season!





A small video of my first tests with a fixed camera (I'm tired of the handheld version, with the picture always bouncing up and down, left and right)...


And I got to do my first trip to the antennas of the season, with the GPS track to prove it!

A good surprise in the mail...

Just as I was beginning to feel desperate from the wait due to all the french post delays during the holidays, my new toy finally arrived!
Today was a good day...






Ain't she a beauty?!?
