Here is a list of tools we use to plan our kiting activities in Haines. Please send us your spot's resources and we can get them added. The cool map on the locations page has icons that show current windspeeds.

For snowkiting, we use Airport Conditions, HNS Highway - 36 Mile, Haines Highway Weather and the Haines Snow Report

Optionally, if you want to see the weather at the end of the Spit, the Port & Harbor website has a good weather sticker driven by a weather station at the boat harbor.
