Kiting skiing at Skyline

Jan 20-21, 2023

I flew down to Salt Lake City Friday night, rented a car, and drove to the Skyline trailhead by 3:30am Saturday. They had just gotten enough snow to kite ski a week earlier.

I met Wayne later that morning and had fun learning how to kite ski. Sunday I practiced more on my own. The wind died down in the morning so I decided to get some exercise so skinned over a few miles to tag Towhead Peak (10,270ft) in a whiteout. Later in the afteroon the wind finally picked up and I got some more kiting in before flying back to Seattle that night.
