About Snowkiting Lessons
Is snowboarding or skiing one of the sports you do every snow season? Does it feels like you want to get more of adrenaline rush when you are going downhill? If the answer is yes, then it’s time to take it to the next level! Say "no more" to overcrowded ski resorts, purchasing lift tickets and long line-ups, where it takes 15 minutes to get on the top of the hill and only 3 minutes to get downhill. Try snow kiting – it will literally "blow you away"!
Snowkiting is an amazing breathtaking alternative sport to skiing and snowboarding, with a kite power to slide along on ice or snow. Just grab your snowboard or skis, dress up worm and join us on the ice frozen lake, snow covered farm field or even small hills and enjoy a company of friendly, young-hearted and adventurous snow kiters. It’s windy – let’s go kiting!
Snowkiting does not require stronger winds; you can kite as soon as it blows 15km per hour. Then you can free ride or you can perform jumps or tricks. We aim to teach you how to snow kite in just 1-2 lessons, it is actually easier and takes less time than learning how to kite surf on the water and will depend on your skills and motivation. Each lesson is run on the different day and approximately 3-5 hours long, depending on wind conditions
The idea that stands behind our snowkiting lessons is to get you to learn how to snow kite in the quickest and safest way.

Lesson One: Introduction To Snowkiting
During this first session we will guide through the most important basics in snow kiting:- Kite, wind power and safety
- Snow kiting gear, such as kite, harness, bar/lines, air pump, ice screw, skis/snowboard and helmet. It is important to know your equipment and how to use it in case of emergency. We say “SAFETY FIRST”!
- Practice flying trainer kite (this is the safest way to understand wind window theory).
- Kite setup, connecting bar/line to a kite and harness, parking kite on snow/ice when not in use.
- Control of bar safety de-power and emergency release.
- First start, re-launching and landing the kite, walking and flying kite in power window.
- While kite is flying, putting your skis/snowboard on and riding.
Lesson Two: Riding Side-by-side With An Instructor
In first lesson you have learned all the basics of snowkiting and now it’s time to polish your snow kiting skills and get you more comfortable with riding. Under kite instructor’s supervision you will be asked to perform kite setup, kite re-lunch and do safety/emergency de-power on your own. You will snow kite side-by-side with instructor and communicate using intercoms. As you ride, the instructor will give you tips on how to stay upwind, turning back to start point and maybe you do your first jump.
You may inquire on additional lessons if you still feel not comfortable snow kiting.
