Rance,

What's a snow kite? Does that pull you along on the snow- like wind surfing on the snow/ice? Or it is just a kite that works well in the winter?

Now that sounds like fun - thanks.

Although I bet the walk back to the vehicle stinks, unless the wind switches directions.

It's like sailing a boat, you can ski against it.
