Representatives of all types of snowkiting were present at the Summit. The main frustration we face in the industry is a lack of cohesion amongst each other. An association is needed, formal structure for competitions is needed. After we brainstormed as a community we decided to employ this 1 to 6 grading concept and see if we can push it as a community as a step toward working together. In many other sports such as rock climbing, whitewater kayaking, mountaineering&#8230; the community creates a grade of difficulty so individuals can improve progressively against the scale since direct competition isn&#8217;t suited. That way, becoming fluent in the use of a grading system allows you to attempt more challenges more progressively to ultimately become better. It also is a gateway for beginners since it&#8217;s easy to know you should seek out class 1 conditions when you start.<\/p>\n<p>The event was held on December 2 &#8211; 8th 2013 and the footage is from the event itself.
