Ice Screws, Biners and Sheaths*
Black Diamond Turbo Ice Screw
An all-round basic ice screw great as a launch and landing anchor screw or as an emergency anchor if you need one while riding. We recommend purchasing it with a biner (to affix your stall handle to) and a leg holster to allow for quick access and safer screw transportation.
Grivel Helix Ice Screw 16cm
A great emergency back up screw to carry while you ride. The speed lever allows for fast deployment and removal using one hand.
Hardwater Kiting Ice Screw Leg Sheath. Basic
Basic Heavy nylon sheath. Will accommodate up to a 12" ice screw. Allows for secure transport of ice screw on your person without awkward hanging or reliance on screw caps. Allows quick access in case of emergency.
Hardwater Kiting Ice Screw Sheath Deluxe.
Lighter weight than our basic version with an additional outside pocket which can store most emergency line knives or anything from spare pigtails to GU packets. Will accommodate up to a 12" ice screw. Allows for secure transport of ice screw on your person without awkward hanging or reliance on screw caps. Allows quick access in case of emergency.
Used to operate both back lines (AKA Brake lines) as a single unit. Can be used to stall and land, to reverse launch or to secure to an anchor in a landed/stalled position. Our stall handles are 23"+ in length to accommodate a wide range of bar lengths. They may need to be shortened for use on short bars.
With stitched webbing over the crossover line to supply comfort to your hands when stalling and a PVC coated centering stake out loop this is a much, MUCH nicer option than some clunky home made line or worse, no line at all.
These after market stall handles are a great option for kites that have worn out their stock handles or didn't come with handles at all. They are compatible with most kite bar systems but be sure that they do not interfere with the actuation of your safety systems before purchasing.

Climbing Skins
Black Diamond Half Skins
Climbing skins are a valuable tool for snow kiters. Paired with Alpine Touring ski/binding set up or telemark ski we use them to get into places that are inaccessible by vehicle or on foot as well as get you home if the wind dies or your kite becomes somehow disabled. Half skins are an affordable option and perfect for kiters as they are more compact than full length skins and won't take up much pack space. 80mm wide.
GPS Personal Locators
Spot GPS locator
As snow kiters many of us often end up having solo sessions. You ride the narrow windows of opportunity that you can. Often in places where cell service isn't available in an emergency. Personal locator beacons are added protection in case things go bad but also a great way to let friend and loved ones know that all, automatically, while you rip up first tracks all day.
When you're beyond cell service SPOT Gen3 lets family and friends know you're OK or sends emergency responders your GPS location at the push of a button. This device is activated by movement and will send tracking updates as long as you move, when you stop so does it. Includes the Emergency SOS feature and a check-in option, sends personalized text messages in non life-threatening situations. Long live adventure.
