What makes snowkiting so special is that you let yourself be pulled onto your skis or snowboard by a large stunt kite called a &#8220;power kite&#8221; and cruise for miles through untouched powder snow. You have the possibility to reach sensational jump heights and distances at an incredible speed and still make gentle landings. Powered by wind energy, you can glide gently over snow-covered powder snow surfaces, and in corresponding regions, you can even reach untouched areas which is usually only possible by helicopter or on a ski tour. Compared to kiting on the water, snowkiting offers the great advantage that you always have solid ground under your feet and you can get up again easily after the wind has knocked you down.<\/p>\n<div class=\"tt-post-image-wrapper tt-post-image-wrapper-full\">\n            <div class=\"tt-image-copyright-container\">\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2020\/11\/RS16385_shutterstock_742444831-bearbeitet-hsc-1.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-wrapped=\"true\" class=\"wp-image-58731 size-Artikelbild_gro\u00df\" title=\"Snowkiting is the way to get to unspoilt areas without ski lifts.\" src=\"https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2020\/11\/RS16385_shutterstock_742444831-bearbeitet-hsc-1-729x486.jpg\" alt=\"Snowkiting is the way to get to unspoilt areas without ski lifts.\" width=\"729\" height=\"486\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2020\/11\/RS16385_shutterstock_742444831-bearbeitet-hsc-1-729x486.jpg 729w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2020\/11\/RS16385_shutterstock_742444831-bearbeitet-hsc-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2020\/11\/RS16385_shutterstock_742444831-bearbeitet-hsc-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2020\/11\/RS16385_shutterstock_742444831-bearbeitet-hsc-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2020\/11\/RS16385_shutterstock_742444831-bearbeitet-hsc-1-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2020\/11\/RS16385_shutterstock_742444831-bearbeitet-hsc-1-468x312.jpg 468w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2020\/11\/RS16385_shutterstock_742444831-bearbeitet-hsc-1-999x666.jpg 999w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2020\/11\/RS16385_shutterstock_742444831-bearbeitet-hsc-1-645x430.jpg 645w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2020\/11\/RS16385_shutterstock_742444831-bearbeitet-hsc-1-552x368.jpg 552w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2020\/11\/RS16385_shutterstock_742444831-bearbeitet-hsc-1-405x270.jpg 405w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2020\/11\/RS16385_shutterstock_742444831-bearbeitet-hsc-1-336x224.jpg 336w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2020\/11\/RS16385_shutterstock_742444831-bearbeitet-hsc-1-276x184.jpg 276w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2020\/11\/RS16385_shutterstock_742444831-bearbeitet-hsc-1-234x156.jpg 234w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2020\/11\/RS16385_shutterstock_742444831-bearbeitet-hsc-1-192x128.jpg 192w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2020\/11\/RS16385_shutterstock_742444831-bearbeitet-hsc-1-120x80.jpg 120w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2020\/11\/RS16385_shutterstock_742444831-bearbeitet-hsc-1.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1009px) 729px, (min-width: 819px) 594px, (min-width: 569px) 729px, (min-width: 449px) 468px, 348px\" \/><\/a><div class=\"tt-image-copyright\" data-image-id=\"58731\">\u00a9 Parilov\/shutterstock.de<\/div>\n            <\/div>\n            <div class=\"tt-post-caption\">Snowkiting is the way to get to unspoilt areas without ski lifts.<\/div>\n         <\/div > \n<h2 id=\"snowkiting-equipment\">Snowkiting equipment<\/h2>\n<p>Snowkiting equipment mainly includes skis, snowblades or a snowboard and a special glider (the power kite). Skis are recommended for beginners, as they give better grip and allow you to move around more easily. Professionals can also try their hand at snowboarding. The glider is usually attached to the hip by a strap and is steered with a bar like in water kiting. Apart from this special equipment, the usual winter sports accessories are also included, of course: ski clothing, gloves, ski goggles, ski helmet and, because of the jumping possibilities, ideally a back protector.<\/p>\n<div class=\"tt-post-image-wrapper tt-post-image-wrapper-full\">\n            <div class=\"tt-image-copyright-container\">\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2020\/11\/RS3925_shutterstock_1022561-hsc.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-wrapped=\"true\" class=\"wp-image-58732 size-Artikelbild_gro\u00df\" title=\"Snowkiting is a great change from the classic winter sports.\" src=\"https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2020\/11\/RS3925_shutterstock_1022561-hsc-729x486.jpg\" alt=\"Snowkiting is a great change from the classic winter sports.\" width=\"729\" height=\"486\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2020\/11\/RS3925_shutterstock_1022561-hsc-729x486.jpg 729w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2020\/11\/RS3925_shutterstock_1022561-hsc-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2020\/11\/RS3925_shutterstock_1022561-hsc-468x311.jpg 468w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2020\/11\/RS3925_shutterstock_1022561-hsc-999x666.jpg 999w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2020\/11\/RS3925_shutterstock_1022561-hsc-645x430.jpg 645w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2020\/11\/RS3925_shutterstock_1022561-hsc-552x368.jpg 552w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2020\/11\/RS3925_shutterstock_1022561-hsc-405x270.jpg 405w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2020\/11\/RS3925_shutterstock_1022561-hsc-336x224.jpg 336w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2020\/11\/RS3925_shutterstock_1022561-hsc-276x184.jpg 276w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2020\/11\/RS3925_shutterstock_1022561-hsc-234x156.jpg 234w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2020\/11\/RS3925_shutterstock_1022561-hsc-192x128.jpg 192w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2020\/11\/RS3925_shutterstock_1022561-hsc-120x80.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1009px) 729px, (min-width: 819px) 594px, (min-width: 569px) 729px, (min-width: 449px) 468px, 348px\" \/><\/a><div class=\"tt-image-copyright\" data-image-id=\"58732\">\u00a9 Zhorov Igor\/shutterstock.de<\/div>\n            <\/div>\n            <div class=\"tt-post-caption\">Snowkiting is a great change from the classic winter sports.<\/div>\n         <\/div > \n<h2 id=\"snowkiting-disciplines\">Snowkiting disciplines<\/h2>\n<p>As with other sports, snowkiting has different disciplines. With &#8220;Freestyle&#8221;, you let yourself be pulled up by the kite and show your tricks in the air. With &#8220;Race&#8221;, you have to run a course as quickly and expertly as possible. In this discipline, speeds of over 100 km\/h are reached. &#8220;Jumping&#8221; is the king discipline in snowkiting. Professional kiters jump distances of up to 200 m and heights of 20 m, while landing rather gently thanks to the power kite.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"snowkiting-locations\">Snowkiting locations<\/h2>\n<p>Snowkiting is now offered in several areas within and outside of Europe.
