Whoops...  Long time no blog! Lots of down time waiting for good wind this year. You'd think I'd have tons of time to blog. But all my spare time is sucked up sewing paraglider stuff bags for the newly aquired Critter Mountain Wear business. It has been fun to take feed back from the graduates and implement it into new more comfortable designs. Making it more comfy to lug your gear back up the hill after sinking out. Speaking of sinking out and short flights... I have seen more than a few normally spoiled pilots happily take a sled ride down to the bottom of the hill just to get the chance for a short flight when normally they only Read More...

This afternoon flying on the north side felt like real Spring flying! I think it was our first and best good north side of the season. We had a decent north wind and a lot of people managed to bench up and fly for hours. Among them were Utah Paragliding graduates Mark, Jesse, and Mark. Congratulations! It was fun to look up and see 3 Skywalk gliders floating around on the upper bench. Down on the Lower bench, Shari, Jeff, and Ryan all still under lessons got in a great soaring session in very nice lifty Spring air. Well...

But they have assured us that when they are finished they wRead More...

It got up to 64 degrees today! It was a nice day to fly a kite, but not a paraglider, it was quite windy. The warm before the strom they say. We will have a cold front grace us with some light snow and rain over night and then leave behind a north wind for the morning flying session I bet. Hopefully that will give us a great afternoon on the North Side tomorrow afternoon though. I have been dormant for a while in the Blog department since the weather has been so crummy. I can only think of a few good flying sessions over the past few months, and my students can vouch for that too. They are super excited and ready for the better weather which I keep promising them is coming... someday! Jeff, Rich and Alex have joined the nest and are advancing very well through their trainiRead More...
