Overview

Check for good ice then kite the lake and surrounding hills.

Best and typcial winds are NW or SE. This place can be epic with the right conditions or it can whiteout and a whole lot of no fun.

It is your responsability to check whether kitesurfing is allowed at the spot; you might need a 'special permit' or membership from a local kite organization, etc. Local rules can change. Respect others - kiters or not; kite safely and enjoy the wind!
