Best Kiteboarding and Utah Urban Surf Kiteboarding are teaming up to host the 2nd annual 2009 Powder Mountain SuperFly Open.  This spectacular and unique snowkite festival is scheduled for March 13th, 14th and 15th, 2009.  The event will take place at Powder Mountain Resort, known for the most skiable acreage in the U.S., rated best snow in the U.S. by Ski Magazine, and of course, infamous for ridge top WIND.

The SuperFly Open will have something for everyone. Enjoy ski-in, ski-out introductory kite clinics and watch some of the best snowkiter’s in the world showcase their talent.  Launch snow features prepared with the help of Powder Mountain’s own snow grooming team.  Slide rails and boxes generously provided by event sponsors.  Compete in or watch any of the three competition categories, freestyle, kitercross, or big air.  Multi-evening festivities include music, Best Girls contest, dining, awards, and multimedia presentations from some of the greatest athletes in the sport.  For more information, visit www.superflyopen.com.

The SuperFly Open is a major stop on the US Snow Kite Winter Tour in the United States. The explosion of kiteboarding in the U.S. has been demonstrated by the fact that there were only 2 events in the 2002/2003 season, compared to over 30 events held nationwide in the 2005/2006 season.  This winter there are over 20 events for Snowkiting alone.

The Location:
Powder Mountain Resort has one of the best areas in Utah to snowkite because of its high elevation, exposure to wind, great snow and a suitable riding area.  The main riding area and the location for this year’s event is the “Towers Area,” located at the top of the Sunrise Lift and just east of the Hidden Lake Parking Lot.  The event will be visible and accessible from the Hidden Lake Lodge, the Hidden Lake Parking Lot, and the Sunrise Lift.
