ant man Posted November 25, 2007 Report Posted November 25, 2007 the revs are totally water proof i soak mine every time in get home from flyng to get the sand out of them.. snow will not hurt them at all .. youll want to watch out for sharp particles of ice however.. as for the stake an ice screw or long nail with a hammer will work fine too Quote
Spence Watson Posted November 25, 2007 Report Posted November 25, 2007 If the snow is deep enough, you might be able to stake it down right in the snow. I'm not too sure about this because as soon as it gets below 30 degrees F, I go indoors. Quote

I fly in the snow alot. It is great fun and the kite is beautiful against all the white and blue (sunny day). The only probles are the sharp ice crusts and getting your tips stuck in the snow. Just be willing to take the WOS to unstick your tip in the snow. There is a temptation to try to pull it out and that can be bad for your sail and/or frame. The other problem is ice dingle berries building up on loose threads. This just like a wings on an airplane icing up. Can lead to some interesting weighting on the kite. In fact we have about 2 to 3 inches of snow and temp is going to be about 45 so I am off to the park shortly. Quote
