It's been a while since my last post so I thought I'd write a quick one while here in Sun Valley.
Spent the past 5 days here mostly skiing but also flying. Sun Valley is probably one of the most accessable winter flying sites that I have been to here in the west.
Grabbed a temporary membership in Sun Valley Paragliders from Chuck at Fly Sun Valley, a walk on lift ticket to the top and away we went.
This year was COLD! 0-20F during the days so the flights usually ended with numb hands. On Saturday there was a bit of ridge lift to soar in and Sunday there was light lift to work. Sunday had the added bonus of snow crystalizing around us while in flight so the dancing rainbows and mini-prisms of light while working our way down the hill were especially spectactular.
It was great bumping into Dave Hanning who is spending weekends there doing tandem instruction with Chuck.
This was our second year flying in Feb in Sun Valley and I can say that I'm going back next year!
