Snow Kiting
Recently I was up in the Chic-Chocs Mountains in Quebec exploring some snow kiting areas. It was my first snow kiting experience. Awesome! A group of us from Nova Scotia met up with Romain Barachko to show us around. The weather was a bit odd for the area with a large high pressure system bringing in blue bird skies and zero wind. There was a bit of wind at the top of Hog’s Back and just enough for Romain to launch his 12m Ikon kite.
Here is some footage of Romain up in the Chocs. Enjoy!

What is the protocol for competitive bidding on electric power in the U.S.?
Answer by Andrew Bruce:
Each region in the US is controlled by a separate independent System Operator(ISO). Each ISO has its own rules for bidding into the market. You can find these rules on each of their websites. One, for example, is ISO-NE which is the ISO in charge of New England. Their website is www.iso-ne.com
