Chicago got 5-6" of fresh snow, and the -10/-5C temperatures kept it nice and fresh for a few weeks. Winds were on the light side, but it was hard to beat ease of access -- a 200 meter walk from where we were staying!
This video shows my second day on the Ozone Frenzy FYX 11 meter foil kite, and I was still figuring out how to drive it properly. Probably second or third day on a board, switching from skis.
