If you are learning to snow kite, starting with a 3m to 4m kite is the best way to go. This gives you a kite that is easy to fly, quick to respond, and has enough power to take you up the alpine bowl on a moderate wind day. Getting a kite that is too large is dangerous and never fun. We use the same kite that is available in the OZONE PURE IN A BOX package above in our kite school because it is durable, safe, and perfect for Canadian Snow Kiting. You can find more info on our kite school in Newfoundland Canada by visiting the My Newfoundland Adventures Website at www.mynewfoundland.ca

We find the Ozone Imp 3.5 and 4 meter kites to be the ideal size for mountain flying in Newfoundland. Anything larger and often times you are looking for trouble (or a lot of fun, depending on how you see the world)
Just got back from a snow kiting session in the Blow me Down Mountains in Western Newfoundland Canada. The snow season at sea level is still early, so accessing the plateau was difficult but once up there, the opportunities are endless. With a 50km square plateau of rolling alpine terrain at 2000' above sea level, the blow-me-down mountains offered the best riding experience this season. We were flying 4 meter kites. I felt a little underpowered for the winds but the conditions were icy in places, which made for fast and loud travel through the alpine.
