hey everyone new to the sport, I am wondering where there are some good kite spots in the big sky area (boze and west could be helpful too).

what sized kite for Big Sky area, 9m or 12?
I too want to kite near Big Sky. I'll be snowboarding for the week starting Saturday but if there's wind nearby I'd rather kite.
I looked at the Kite Spots and forum and it seems like most places are a couple hour's drive (a long way when you're on vacation and not to wired for the conditions). I couldn't find Bucks Creek Ridge on Google Maps. Maybe they'll know about it at the ski base but the guy I talked to on the phone had never seen snow kiting. Anyway, maybe I'll just play around on the Big Sky golf course.
Which kite should I bring, my 9m or 12m? (inflatable North Rebels)
Thanks! Give me a ring if you want to ride. 917-576-6770

is the "Kite Spots" section on this web site.
After that, check out Kiteforum and go to their snow section. If you look back at old posts or do a search you will find dozens of spots in SW Montana.
