    Have you done it before? I did it today in Davos (tandem jump). It was pretty cool, I was in the air for a good half hour or so, and steered the thing myself for quite a while.

    It just got pretty cold up there after a while.

    I did it in Aspen one year. It was pretty cool.

    The world economic forum will be in Davos, starting in about 10 days from now. There were some signs that paragliding will be forbidden during that time. I guess they are worried about suicide attacks or something.

    Or maybe all the hot air being spewed by the politicians could cause distruptions in the air currents, causing paragliders to fall out of the sky like apocalyptic frogs.

    if you liked paragliding you should look into powered parachuting!

    I did it in Acapulco many years ago. Fun!
