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. | |||||||
