The only hotel on the village hosts most of the 200 participants that take part on this endurance race, no need to say that the Hotel was packed with people and that nice sleep had to be postponed since the after parties took place on the kitchen of our apartment.
The atmosphere is really good, loads of people super amped to have a good time on the mountain, push their limits and share experiences.
This was my very first time snowkiting and I loved it, it puts together two sports that I'm passionate about, kitesurfing and snowboarding. It requires a different fitness from kiteboarding and I soon felt that after 20 minutes of pure thigh burning. Also rigging and de rigging is a totally different deal, I must say the gloves don't really speed things up when doing your lines, and once you're done riding instead of shaking your kite to clean off the sand you do it to clean the odd the snow.
The feeling of being able to climb the highest mountain with a kite the ride down full speed is amazing, it brings an adventurous spirit on me :)
I really loved the experience, here's some pics from this amazing weekend on the snow!
