Artist Point (snow kite)
Fun intermediate / advanced spot in SE through NE winds. Artist point has rolling hills and fairly mellow slopes to the east. Forecast at https://www.windy.com/48.846/-121.691?namConus,48.843,-121.691,14,m:e0zacMl. The wind meter at Panorama Dome slightly east is a good match for Artist Point.
Approach: The road is closed in winter, so approach is a backcountry skin track from the Heather Meadows backcountry parking area. Note that this is avalanche terrain, check https://nwac.us/avalanche-forecast/#/west-slopes-north. The route to Artist Point is usually well traveled and safe.
