3:43 Flying is epic. Flying and drinking Ichnusa, the sardinian beer (i'm from this beatiful island), is legend!

[@leonklausing5844]

HAHAH the Sardinian "Ichnusa non filtrata" bier killed me XD

Best snow kiting video I have ever seen. I wish I was forty years younger and had the skiers and snowboarders ability. It must be the best adrenaline rush ever. Who needs a ski lift when you have a kite to haul you up the mountain. I have subscribed to the channel hoping to see more like this. Great video, filming was epic! Thanks for sharing this with us.....

[@schnee17]

lets hope winter will bring some epic sessions :-)

Крутяк! Спасибо, ребята!

[@hercion]

"Who flies high falls far"... some friendly words of warning: 1. strong wind can cause strong turbulence -> your kite eventually will collapse one day. 2. lines can break easily (especially if ridden over with ski). 3. a kite surf harness with plastic buckles is not designed for flying and can break anytime. why not kite up, but fly down with a proper speedglider? much safer.. fits easily into the backpack.. i wish you all the best.

[@schnee17]

no risk no fun, but trust me we take care and in turbulencee noone will like to even kite

Which kites and sizes have been used here? Such a great and emotional vid!!!

[@La-Cabra]

Incredible job! Are there advantages/disadvantages between board and skis or its just a matter of taste?

[@schnee17]

thx.matter of taste. In the beginning it is with skis probably easier

[@madsteeez]

The skill involved in this is mond-boggling! coming from someone whos uses those kites on 2-d Water :D

[@dr20231may]

unreally real

[@XC_Tom]

Awesome video and skills! I'm paragliding snowboarding and kiting a lot, but never took snow kiting serious because I`ve only seen it on flat ground. I never knew how much is possible (with enough skill) How often you can you have fun like this? Are there many spot in the alps? Paragliding there is super weather dependent and I'm wondering how it is with snowkiting in such a landscape...

[@schnee17]

depends how easy you want to get to the spots. By some you just walk out of the car and you start the kite, by some you need to take a lift and for some you need to hike. But yes you need to drive normally soem time by car depending where you are located. In theory you can snowkite always when you have wind, but with clouds it is less fun of course

[@Marcus_Aurelius.]

@@schnee17 in italian-french alps there is Piccolo San Bernardo, is a great spot

[@rst6590]

Thoses Dudes skiing UPHILL😂😂

[@cedrict2164]

La classe

[@Steezicus]

Is there risk of the kite collapsing like paragliders have? How much is a kiting set up for you once you get good at it? I see beginner ones are really cheap, but not sure what level of kite you need to fly and go up mountains. This looks amazing!

[@schnee17]

so far we didnt really see a kite collapsing, but companies wont reccoment. For 500€ you get used kite and harness. The more kites you have the better you can chosse the size for the wind :-) So you have more possible snowkitedays. And with old gear I wouldnt reccomend to fly

[@dbrgn]

Whoa, crazy stuff. Awesome! At 2:10, is the second guy crossing the lines of the first person with his skis? As a paraglider pilot, I'm already mad if people just step on the lines of my glider, going over them with skis sounds quite bad :) At 5:13: Fun to see that you're also using the Hummel for "Bisen-Soaring", like we paragliders do :)

[@schnee17]

the terrain at 2:10 was too steep to take care of it I guess. Normally we never cross the lines off course

[@GuilhermeKato83]

wait wait wait......

[@sailingselahbcvt8651]

Awesome!! I tried recently but it was far too gusty to keep the kite in the air long.

[@schnee17]

gusty wind sucks. Maybe the wrong spot then

[@differentsnowkitekiteboard5020]

Yeah !!! Beautiful vidéo !!! Love Snowkiting is not a crime !!!! Welcome on my channel !

[@lucasrojo10]

4:26 kite in a tree....

[@SlavaPonezha]

wow

[@rafalw.3455]

I was kitesurfing a lot on the water and I snapped so many times the lines, do you have special bar with beter lines to do this? Thanks

[@schnee17]

no, normal lines. By normal flying I dont see any risk,as their is almost no force on the lines. When the dudes do kiteloops in high altitute, the risk is indeed higher. If you only snowkite and check your lines regulary the risk is probably less than on the water, as you dont have salt and sand which kill the lines faster

[@user-pv6bd6xx9t]

Как бы я хотел такое повторить!!!

[@koblan.163]

А где это скажите пожалуйста?

[@pierresagnet2907]

Plein les yeux

[@martin87jonsson]

How can you guys glide so nicely facing forward? Do you twist your hip and hold the bar backward or do you use some special equipment?

[@schnee17]

normal equipment. It is not so hard as you imagine

[@martin87jonsson]

I have been snowkitimg for years but never came into a forwards glide like this! Do you have any tips on how to do it? :) Do you have wind down the mountain on those occasions?

[@fgkfriz]

I think he does what you say because often the red tip of the bar is in his right hand instead of his left and I guess the wind is usually going up the mountain when he glides down.

[@Ratko1997]

What drone did you use? So it can sustain that amount of wind.

[@schnee17]

there is normally not so super strong wind. Mavic can handle easy 15kn wind

[@yvanpedron5255]

woa..

[@klunkification]

I do not understand if is snowkint or paragliding!! keep it up GG guys!!! :-)

[@schnee17]

its always a kite, but it is only reccommend to do it if you are expert

[@macflyguy5166]

2 lines are keeping your butt alive. So if your gonna fly off the cliffs, upgrade your bar's lines and hardware to somthing stronger.

[@schnee17]

@@macflyguy5166 by a kiteloop as example the load on the lines is x times higher. By flying it is moreless just half of your weight on one line. So if you check your lines regulary I dont see any problem that they will brake by just flying.

[@morgengold]

@@schnee17 Is flying also possible with tube kites? + is the direction of wind important for flying?

[@schnee17]

@@morgengold of course. if you fly with the wind you speed up a lot. Straight against the wind is the best ans easiest. And remember only if you are a pro try it

[@wernerxldata]

Amazing to see but I'll stick with kiting in water 😇

[@Zerli]

Im after kitesurfing lessons this season but I wasn't aware that it is possible to climb mountains with kite and fly down D:

[@schnee17]

snowkiting is actually more easy if you already can ski or snowboard.

[@whatsupbudbud]

@@schnee17 Can you elaborate on this a bit more? I snowboard/skateboard and in my first kitesurfing lesson the kite seemed a bit too much, granted the winds were very low as per instructor's comments. Is it easier on terra because there is no need to get out of the submerged state (less drag)?

[@rubenentertainment]

It's a dream to ride up the mountains

[@TimCarr]

8:33 Slooowwwww Moooo

[@ok6747]

Do you know a good spot to learn kiteski ?

[@schnee17]

depending where you live. LoL any flat spot with snow and good wind is nice

[@aurelianslavu6797]

So the point is, when you rich the peek of the montain, you do a "release", or you risk to be "looped" over the outher side of the montain?

[@schnee17]

No, check my other videos. You can also go on the peak of the mountain somtimes. It depends on the wind and the terrain. If the wind is gusty or strong and the terrain steep the risk is much higher that something unexpected happens. So in this situations it is better to be 100% safe and just release the kite.

[@aurelianslavu6797]

@@schnee17 I am on wather with this.I do not like snow or winter, i tried a bit snowbording.This winter i wanna trie this.But on flat and with a tube, not a foil.But going on top of mountain, where is gusty , rocks, obstacles and deep valleys, that is crazy, i`ll be always with my hand on full release, no matter how many times i v done that.:)

[@neurokite9360]

@@schnee17 Fantastic video. Did those guys quickrelease at the top or fully release? I assume that they flagged the kites using the quick release? It would look like the risk would be huge if the kite does not flag out properly or powers back up?

[@schnee17]

[@neilbeaton9498]

Why are the kites spinning so much? Shouldn't it remain steady? If my kite starts spinning in a death loop I'd be tempted to let it go

[@schnee17]

It gives you smoother and more linear power if you loop at a hill to climp up. Its not spiining without control :D

[@Bastuun]

can someone put down a page for snowkite know how and info exchange. im looking into purchasing one, but im not sure as to size, shape, etc. tienks!

[@schnee17]

if you want to snowkite only, a foilkite is the best option. You can find a lot by google or in forums or by the kite producers. like ozone, Peterlynn and flysurfer kites. A kite which flys from 8 to 18kn is for the beginning good, as you mostly have days with lighter wind

[@davejohnson5278]

I'm interested as well, I am picking up my new kite today! I'm finally moving up to a Tensor 4.2 or 5, depending which is in stock. I'm a pretty big guy and my Snapshot 2.5 just wasn't getting the job done. If you come across specific sites please post them.
