The relatively new sport of Snowkiting will be the feature of a new festival at Powder Mountain on February 8 - 10, 2008. Daytime activities at the resort during the festival will include introductory kite clinics, kite demos, a freestyle competition and kitercross races. The event will be part of the US Snowkite Tour. The festival is co-sponsored by Utah Kite Addiction, Utah's first PASA certified snowkite school, and Best Kiteboarding.

Best Kiteboarding and Utah Kite Addiction are teaming up to host the 2008 Powder Mountain SuperFly Open. This spectacular and unique snowkite festival is scheduled for February 8th, 9th, and 10th, 2008. The event will take place at Powder Mountain Resort, known for the most skiable acres in the US, rated best snow in the US by Ski Magazine, and of course, infamous for ridge top WIND.

The SuperFly Open will have something for everyone. Enjoy ski in - ski out introductory kite clinics and watch some of the best snowkiter's in the world showcase their talent. Launch snow features prepared with the help of Powder Mountain's own snow grooming team. Slide rails and boxes generously provided by event sponsors. Compete in or watch any of the three competition categories, freestyle, kitercross, or big air.

Friday's evening festivities include food and drink at a local pub and a showing of Something Stronger, the latest film from Snowkitefilm.com. For those wanting a little more stay late for music and dancing and the much anticipated Best Girls Contest.

Saturday evening's festivities will be conducted at the beautiful and newly constructed Pineview Lodge at Wolf Creek Resort. Enjoy fine dining, awards, and multimedia presentations from some of the greatest athletes in the sport. Andrew Mclean, photographer and author of the Chuting Gallery (a Utah steep backcountry ski guide book), will give a "best of" presentation of his snowkite assisted adventures in remote polar regions around the globe. Sarah (21) and Eric McNair-Landry (22) and Curtis Jones (29) will give a presentation on their recently completed Pittarak Expedition consisting of an unsupported kite assisted 2,300 km crossing of the Greenland Ice Cap. The evening's line up also consists of presentations from French Olympian and World Snowkite Champion Guillaume "Chasta" Chastagnol, and Aaron Sales, editor of Kiteboarding Magazine.

With help from mother nature, the SuperFly Open is sure to please the snowkiter's appetite, but also plan on spending a couple extra days downhill riding Powder Mountain's powder stashes and see for yourself why this little known ski area is Utah's best kept secret. Powder Mountain Resort is located 19 miles northeast of Ogden, Utah, 55 miles north of Salt Lake City and the Salt Lake International Airport. Plan lodging in Ogden Valley, just five miles from the resort, or slope side lodging at the mountain for the ultimate convenience. Ogden is located only 19 miles from the area and also offers lodging and nightlife opportunities.
