We’re always looking for fun, new ways to play in snow.  Snowkiting is a fairly new mash-up of skiing/snowboarding and kitesurfing, where propulsion comes from the wind instead of gravity or your mighty arm muscles.  Here are highlights from the 2014 Red Bull Ragnarok at the plateau in Hardangervidda National Park, Norway.

No mountains? No problem! Red Bull Ragnarok is all about harnessing the wind in a kite powered race across the Dyranut Hills in Norway. Two hundred skiers and snowboarders flew through the mountain plateau in a frenzied snow-kiting competition like never before!
