Spring in Winter - Snowkite Session 38

Some sessions are truly great, even if not all conditions are ideal. This last one was such a case. With the unusual warm temperatures for the beginning of January, the snow has been melting away at a frightening pace and it has taken a toll at our "homespot" at the Col des Supeyres.
But, with the forecast pointing at a clear blue sky and nice winds, we didn't hesitate to head there for a session that almost looked like one of those you get in the Spring: a hard snow in the morning, slowly going softer through the day with the sun, lots of patches of grass and herbs and a general feeling of warmth during the day.

I spent all day long kiting around with the crazy Cyril and crossing a bunch of other friends on the spot, exploring a lot of places I hadn't taken the time to pass through before (including some "alternative routes" to go to the antennas and back). One of the best moments of the day: the race back to the car with Cyril, finishing with a hill crossing through high grass (who says you can't slide a snowboard on the "green"?!?)!

(Cyril, wishing everybody a nice day...)
