Happy New Year!!!!!
Happy New year everyone!!! Molly and the 24m Phantom 2. New Years Chocorua Well, I'm happy to say that our kite season here in Northern New England kicked off before the new year did. It's still a little "touch and go" with the wide temperature swings but it is ON! Monday of last week was the first day on Umbagog and the first on ice for me this season. It's never a good feeling to be out on the ice for the first time, wearing a PFD and hoping to hell you don't go swimming. Especially in light winds. But it was a good feeling ot be out. A few days later we got some rain followed by a cold front. Cleared out most of the snow and set up the ice for some great high speed cruising. We got a day where the winds were nukin' so I decided to take a spin down and see if Chocorua was and good yet. The wind must have been a lot more North than NW because when I got to Chocorua it was dead calm. Wind was blowing everywhere BUT Chocorua. I jumped back
