snowkite
Kite-powered snow travel
Snowkiting is using a large kite to pull a person across snow or ice on skis or a snowboard.
The kite harnesses wind power, allowing riders to travel across flat terrain or even uphill: We spent the afternoon snowkiting on the frozen lake.
A snowkite is the kite itself, or one who snowkites.
