Snow Kiting the Columbia River Gorge - Travel Oregon
![](https://traveloregon.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Snowkiting_Slideshow_02.jpg)
Snow kiting in the Cascade Range mountains is limited by the fact that most of the snow falls above 5,000 feet and is, therefore, difficult to reach. Eventually, I realized that a snowmobile could get me to previously inaccessible locations, even Mount Defiance. I scouted the area with Google Earth, and after a few trips to the summit on my snowmobile, I discovered a snowfield about five times the size of a soccer field.
