Volume 1 is an incredibly thorough introduction to snowkiting with chapters on terminology, equipment, kite flying, foil kite instruction, tube kite instruction, riding basics (edging, turning, upwind), back country riding, expedition kiting, kite repair, and basic jumping - 2 hours in all. Volume 2, when it comes out, will go beyond the basic jump and introduce all the trick jumps and other specialized snowkiting skills. A bit pricey, but all in all the cheapest way to learn to snowkite safely.
