If I lost the skiis and made it to the bottom with my life, I'd be thankful!

Powered paragliding is something I've always wanted to try (without the skiing). It looks like a lot of fun. I wonder if you can do tandem flights with instructors anywhere

talk about havin some balls.... im sure he has done that same route a bunch of times but still. your ski or somethin could catch so easily and make you change direction and just slam into some rocks.. shit.
