TURKEY THE ERCIYES VOLCANO. As we did it last winter, Chasta and me, weʼre going once again to these amazing mountains right in the center of Turkey, the Erciyes ridge, for three days of incredible snowkiting sessions. Just back from the USA last evening after three unforgettable weeks there, weʼre having our plane flight on a 2011 sunny spring morning to the turkish mountains. That means near to twelve hours jetlag. Straight. For this trip, Chasta is travelling with wife Titaua and 11 years old daughter Kailea, both top snowkiters. Weʼll meet on our arrival in Turkey the Ozone international pro-kiter Marek Zach from Czech Republic. Weʼre all invited by the Turkey Ozone distributor Murat Bukey whoʼs organizing this five days journey. With some facebook messages, Murat already said that the snowpack is really higher this winter in Erciyes. Cool news though. Last winter, weʼve been introduced by Murat to the Erciyes ski resort head-manager. We were thinking about a meeting as normal courtesy but actually Memet the head-manager here was conscientiously keeping in mind our feeling and advices about the best snowkiting areas
