The newest Kite Yukon Video is out. "The Broken Nose Sessions" is a compilation of several weeks of great sessions in the Haines and Skagway Summits. Big Airs and Big Crashes. Check it out on YouTube >>

We are in peak kiting season right now, with long days and a nice warm southerly wind coming our way. The nights have been cold enough to keep the snow crisp and the days have been sunny and amazing. We just finished our Easter session in the Haines Summit. We had many good friends come from all over the country. The conditions were perfect. We are editing the next video right now so keep you eyes open.

Life is good!

Season's First Kite Yukon Video is out
The first Kite Yukon video of the season is out. "Waist Deep Powder" There are not a lot of good jump shots as the snow was so deep you almost could not move. Great powder shots and some cliffs drops on the side of fraser lakes. Good living! Check out the vid on YouTube >>

Trip to Haines Summit
Last weekend we made it out to the Haines Summit. The snow is getting there. We did some great kite up/ski down lines on the 3 Guardsmen. I t is so amazing how many vertical feet you can pack in a day with a kite. Let it snow. We will have the next video out soon.

Trips in Brief

To give you an example of the trips completed and planned...

     In April 2006 we completed the 110km Juneau, Alaska to Atlin, BC traverse by kite - a first! Read the Kiwi's article on Biglines >>

     In April 2007, we basecamped for two weeks under the shadow of Mount Logan. Kiting right out the front door of our wall tent and skiing lines that have probably never been skied before. Trip photos >>

     For 2008, we are discussing with Ozone Kites to hold their annual distributors meeting here in the Yukon. Giving the crew a taste of the goods the Yukon has to offer.

THE KITE YUKON STORY

Kite Yukon is a newly formed company with the goal to provide tailor-made snow-kiting instruction and backcountry expeditions here in the far north.

When we moved to Whitehorse we were blown away by the endless kiting opportunities in the region. We were the first to kite here on a regular basis. I guess you could say the pioneers of the sport in the Yukon. The local kiting community continues to grow, with riders of all levels getting involved. We now want to share our playground with all you other kite junkies. Kite Yukon is our vehicle, our voice to spread the word.

We continue to explore this vast region to find those breathtaking spots very few people will ever enjoy.

If you are interested in kiting courses or expeditions please contact us by email to discuss trip ideas.
