Kite Skiing on Lake Dillon, CO

This looks fun, but I'd have to put some rocks in my pockets to keep from bein airborne.

that looks like it would be so much fun!! but it would also just be another way for me to kill myself! I wonder what top speeds are, & how do they deal w/ bumps in the ice at high speeds.

Well, they have quite a bit of snow on top of the ice so that takes care of the bumps. I don't know how fast they can go, but some were zipping along. They had a competition over the week-end, which got shut down Friday due to too much wind. A lot of the folks in these pics are ones who are just learning.

Hey RGINN,
We were about 30 mins away from there.

Cool, ChrisP. Like you say, just down the street. A beautiful day up here in the mountains today.
