snow kayaking

[spider solo]

Has anybody given it a try ?
It's a ton of fun...though I've just done small hill or two
I've seen some pretty outrageous pictures from time to time

If ever ther was a year to fool around with it and have some foolish fun....

kinda like a toboggan only........"different"

p.s. ....don't use your best paddle

I've heard it's a good time! Wonder what it would be like in a sea kayak?!? Have to try that soon

Last year at the Banff film festival w there was a film of 2 guys who crossed Patagonia with kayaks, They used them on the rivers on both sides and they used them on the slopes.

A great film and an awesome trip. here it is:

Patagonia — A Travel to the End of the World

Norway, 2006, 40 minutes
Directed and produced by Vebjørn Hagen / TV 2 AS
Focus: Adventure/Kayaking

Attempting the first unsupported traverse of the Southern Patagonia Icecap, Børge Ousland (appearing in person) and Thomas Ulrich start from the small village of Tortel in August 2003. After three days of paddling into the Patagonian fjords with two kayaks each, they reach the bottom of the Jorge Montt Glacier; from here they carry their equipment up and start skiing across the ice cap. This film is most of all about the spirit of adventure. Few expeditions have had to master so many different skills to reach their goal.

Anyone else here remember seeing it?
