That looks awesome I need to try it. Do you need to be in good shape?
Nah, you don't need to be in great shape, skiing is WAY more taxing than paragliding. The only part that needs almost any effort at all is launch.

IDeally I'd like to get a motor at some point. This gives you more flexibility to fly wherever and whenever (assuming weather / etc. are OK)
Kind of a cool clip in CO
Now that is cool! right up my alley! Cruising around tree top level seems like a ton of fun.
I would imagine if something goes wrong at high altitude a reserve may not be enough to bring all the weight down safely.
Soarcast for tomorrow looks good!!!!

Be up at Charlestown in the AM.
Nice! I wanna try SO bad!
I don't think the hill near me is actively giving lessons or taking flights. I have been to the top a couple times and the slope doesn't look maintained. Things seem a bit over grown making the take off very narrow. Nothing like what I see in your video.
Since I live in Utah now I've have much more paragliding opportunities. I've been flying both a full sized PG and one about half the size (mini wing/speedwing) and have got a few ski launched flights in as well.
I'm hoping to be able to fly when I come back home this summer, judging by previous posts it looks like there's an active community up north.

Utah is pretty cool. It's like CO but more accessible, everything is just a lot closer. Wasn't a great ski season by Utah standards, but it was by CO standards which I've grown accustomed to.So how's Ooooootah so far?
