2-3 times a week. Just tried kite surfing with the board on a frozen lake. Very cool :)

I used to go all the time, my brother is an instructor so its free.
I got bored with it. Its just too much sitting on the lift for me so I got a snowmobile.
Old Forge, here I come :)

I tried it once over Christmas for the first time. Lots of fun, lots of falling. I've been surfing alot, so I picked it up fairly quick.

FWIW, the area I went to supposedly has lousy ski slopes (North Carolina Mountains) and I've been told I would have done better in other areas.

Dave, I just went kite skiing the last few weekends since we finally go some snow. Pretty fun time. More than a few face plants though.

Yep, took a few dives. Friends were cursing as they'd have to hike out and launch it for me. Plus, I wouldn't give the kite up ;)

Hey, you're 'just' south of me. I'm in freezing ass cold Thunder Bay, ON.

Agreed, but have never gone skiing or anything remotely close to it, just sledding, and hitting deer.

Why does the vehicle always hit a deer when I go up there? Who knows...

You and Scott have me jealous... that sounds like a rush, I used to windsurf in some really rough weather, but on snow is a whole other story!
Get us some video of the faceplants:p

Just go to Hood and do it. *******s and Elbows the first couple times and then you will love it (as long as you don't hit a deer???)!:D
