The key to riding in the snow is dressing properly. Be sure to dress plenty warmly for the conditions, and wear protective gear. Key clothing to have is a pair of bibs, thin yet warm gloves, a helmet, elbow pads and kneepads, and goggles. Take out a smaller kite than you would in the same wind on water. Launch the kite as usual and bring it to neutral. With the kite in neutral, quickly put on your board or skis and power-stroke the kite in the direction you want to go. Keep your weight back to avoid being pulled onto your front side. Start edging and you will be ripping upwind in no time!
