Power Kiting and Snow Kiting Programs
IMCS offers a wide range of kite programs from our Powerkite program to our Freestyle Course and Kite Mountaineering/ Expedition courses.  All IMCS kite programs include all equipment for kiting.  This includes kites and harnesses.  Skis, snowboards, and helmets as well as the necessary clothing suitable for the day, and of course a lunch, liquid, and/or snacks, the student(s) should provide.  On over night programs, food and over night equipment (sleeping bags and tents) are provided.  If any technical clothing or technical equipment is needed IMCS can rent to the student the equipment without a problem, simply let us know.  
In all IMCS Power kite and Snow kite courses you will receive an IKO riders card as well as the certification representing where your skill level is.

Power Kiting
Here is where it all starts! Power kiting is simply safely flying kites that have the ability to create power. 

Snow Kiting
Snow kiting is using the power of a kite and moving on snow covered terrain.  It allows riders to move far beyond the gravity powered areas that we are accustomed to from the ski and snowboard world.  Snow kiting also opens up another dimension in the world of snow sports as a snow kiter can with ease ride up hills, over terrain, and fly off hills to small mountains kiting into terrain that would not be possible without the kite and a steady wind!  Snow kiting can be done in a field, a frozen lake, and on mountains.  Here in North Conway, NH, we have many lakes and fields with great winter winds that offer excellent opportunities to get out and explore a great new sport!  IMCS offers five courses in Snow Kiting.

Discovery Program (Beginner)
Here the student will learn the basics. The process of how to use a kite safely and effectively for Snow Kiting will be the focus.

Intermediate Program
In the Intermediate Snow kite program we start to see the excitement of how to apply the power of the kite and use the power to understand the nature of snow kiting, movement!

Independant Program
In the IMCS Independent course, you are now going to learn the skills to possibly be able to go out on your own with confidence as well as safe and sound snow kite techniques.

Freestyle Course
Here in the Freestyle course we move into the true nature of what separates snow kiting from almost any other snow sport out there
