Kite skiing, also known as snow kiting, is a gliding sport powered by the wind. In the cold season, this means getting on downhill skis or a snowboard, and having the wind’s force pull you along by a sail or a traction kite so you can glide over frozen rivers, lakes, snowy fields or even an ice shelf! Kite skiing paradise is found in the Îles de la Madeleine, but you can also try it in several other Quebec regions. Kite skiing is perfect for those who want to try a new activity that is a touch on the extreme side, but a lot of fun and easy enough for adults and children who know the basics of downhill skiing.
