Ozone is one of the most respected names in foil kites, and its wings are a favourite for snowkiting and light wind riding. If you want to be powered across snow on a board or skis, or to fly a kite that performs when the wind is light, Ozone's range is built exactly for that.

This collection gathers Ozone foil and snowkite kites, from efficient single skin and closed cell designs to trainer kites for learning the ropes. Whether you are heading to the mountains to snowkite, exploring foiling, or looking for a light wind weapon, there is an Ozone kite here to match.

Not sure which kite or size suits you? The guide below explains how these kites work, how to size them and how to stay safe, and our team is always happy to help. Browse the range below, or see the wider Ozone collection for more options.

Who Are Ozone?

Ozone is a specialist in foil kites and wings, with deep roots in paragliding and kite design. That expertise shows in kites that are efficient, stable and beautifully made, and the brand has become a benchmark for snowkiting and light wind foil kites in particular. Models such as the Chrono and Hyperlink are well known among snowkiters and foilers for their glide and low end power.

For a rider, choosing Ozone means a kite with a strong reputation for quality, safety features and real world performance in the conditions these kites are made for.

What Is Snowkiting?

Snowkiting is riding across snow powered by a kite, using a snowboard or skis. It takes the power and freedom of kitesurfing onto the mountain and the open, snowy flats, letting you ride uphill as well as down and cover huge distances. Because you are on snow rather than water, foil kites are the usual choice, as they are efficient, relaunch is less of a concern, and they perform brilliantly in the lighter, gustier winds you often find inland.

It is an incredible way to extend your kite season into winter, and Ozone makes some of the most popular kites for it.

What Is in the Ozone Snow Range?

The Ozone range for snow and light wind includes:

• Performance foil kites: efficient closed cell wings such as the Chrono, built for glide, upwind and distance.
• Light wind foil kites: designs like the Hyperlink that fly and pull in very little wind.
• Trainer kites: smaller kites such as the GO, ideal for learning kite control safely before you ride.
• Versatile wings: kites that work across snow, land and water.

The right model depends on whether your goal is performance snowkiting, light wind riding or learning the basics.

Foil Kites vs Tube Kites for Snow

For snow, foil kites have clear advantages over inflatable tube kites. A foil kite is lighter and far more efficient, so it generates power in the lighter, more variable winds common inland and in the mountains. There is nothing to inflate, so no pump to carry and no bladder to burst in the cold, and because you are on snow, water relaunch is not a factor. Tube kites can be used on snow, but foil kites like Ozone's are the specialist tool for the job.

How to Choose the Right Ozone Kite

A few questions guide the choice:

• Your discipline: performance snowkiting, light wind foiling or learning.
• Your wind: lighter and gustier mountain winds favour efficient, closed cell foil kites.
• Your experience: a trainer kite first if you are new to kite control, then a ride ready wing.
• Where you ride: snow only, or a kite that doubles for water and land.

If you are completely new, starting with a trainer kite to master flying before adding power and a board is the safest route.

What Size Snowkite Do I Need?

Kite size is given in square metres, and the right size depends on your weight, the wind and the conditions. In lighter wind you need a larger kite, and in stronger wind a smaller one. Snowkiters often carry a small quiver to cover a range of conditions, since mountain winds can vary a lot through the day. Foil kites are efficient, so a given size often pulls harder than the same size tube kite, which affects how you size up. Our team can help you choose based on your weight and the conditions you expect.

Understanding Wind Range and Depower

Every kite has a wind range, the band of wind in which it flies and performs safely, and depower is how much you can spill the kite's power when you need to. Ozone kites are known for smooth, reliable depower, which is a big part of staying in control, especially in the gusty winds you find inland. A kite with a wide wind range and good depower lets you ride comfortably across changing conditions and reduces how many kites you need to carry.

Staying Safe Snowkiting

Snowkiting is hugely rewarding but demands respect. Learn kite control thoroughly, ideally starting with a trainer kite and proper instruction, and always know your release and safety systems before you ride powered. Choose open, suitable terrain away from obstacles, lifts and people, be aware of changing mountain weather, and in avalanche terrain take the appropriate training and precautions. Good technique and sensible terrain choices are what make snowkiting safe and fun.

Caring for Your Ozone Kite

A foil kite lasts for years with careful handling.

• Keep snow, grit and moisture out of the cells as much as possible.
• Dry the kite fully before packing it away to prevent damp and fabric damage.
• Avoid dragging it across rough ground, ice or sharp crust.
• Check and maintain the lines and bridle, keeping them untangled.
• Store it dry, loosely packed and out of direct sun and heat.

Because foil kites rely on clean cells and tuned lines, a little care keeps the performance and safety features working as they should.

How Much Do Ozone Kites Cost?

As specialist, high performance foil kites, Ozone wings generally sit in the mid to upper range of the market, with trainer kites being much more affordable entry points. What you pay for is advanced, efficient design, quality materials and the glide, low end and safety that make these kites so capable on snow and in light wind. For a committed snowkiter or foiler, a quality Ozone kite is an investment that opens up conditions and seasons other kites cannot reach.
