snowkiting
Kite-pulled winter sport
Snowkiting is a winter sport where a rider on skis or a snowboard is pulled across snow or ice by a large kite.
The kite harnesses wind power, allowing travel across flat terrain or uphill without lifts.
In strong conditions, riders can achieve jumps and aerial maneuvers: We went snowkiting on the frozen lake.
