Superfly Open Kiteboarding Contest at Powder Mountain Congratulations to Les Vierra, Best Kiteboards, and the rest of the crew on a huge success at the top of Powder Mountain.

Not for the faint of heart or cold footed ones, this event was a visual and social treat for those who geared up to brave the gusting winds and near artic temps to make  to the first annual Superfly Open.

2008 Superfly Open - Friday, February 8 - Sunday, February 10, 2008 (Eden, UT)  When the "Google Guys" do anything, the world seems to take notice. Well it's a fact - Google's founders Sergey Brin and Larry Page are avid Kite Surfers, which they happen to enjoy mostly in the Pacific ocean of Northern California.

superfly_open_flyer.png Kiteboarding is the generic term for any sport where a colorful kite is strapped to an athlete on surfboard, snowboard, skis, skateboard, etc. Those addicted to snow sports, or anyone who enjoys colorful displays of talent, will love watching or participating in the 2008 Superfly Snowkiting Competition at Powder Mountain February 8 - 10.  If you've ever watched the colorful beauty of hot air balloons launching, imagine the basket on a pair of skis or snowboard ripping across the horizon, and you'll have some inkling of the intrigue of this sport. It's colorful, it's dynamic, and it's COOL!  Charge up your cameras and video recorders and head on up to Powder Mountain!

Utah Kite Addiction, based in beautiful Ogden Valley, is the first and only PASA Certified Snowkiting School in Utah dedicated to sharing the addiction of snowkiting.  

Surrounded with riding areas like Powder Mountain, Monte Cristo, Pineview Reservoir, and local fields, this is the perfect place to learn to snowkite.  In a rare event it is not blowing at one of these locations, enjoy a day of skiing or boarding at Powder Mountain and Snowbasin Resorts or a day of snowmobiling at Monte Cristo.
