Lelex - Snowkite Session 31

With the wind forecast saying that it would blow only in the afternoon, we decided to arrive at 13h30/14h. As soon as we got our kites from the bags, the breeze started to come and transform into a gentle, regular wind... That must have given the other 3/4 kiters on the spot (waiting for 2 hours already) reason to badmouth us a little bit!

We did about 4h30 of ride, going all over the spot (even if the domes lacked snow, we could pass everywhere and there was even fresh powder in some zones) and it was the first time I had a 180 degrees change in wind in the same afternoon (north at arrival, then turning to west during most of the day and finally south as we where returning to the point of departure). I must have accidentally turned off my GPS at some point and it was only about 2h later that I noticed, so there's a big part of the track missing...

This really is one of my favorite spots... The terrain is a real playground, allowing for freeride along a big distance, flying off from the domes (of all different shapes and sizes) and a lot more, between the giant natural halfpipes, quarterpipes and natural kickers!
