A seasonal site available for Paragliding when the lift is running. Hill is open for skiing in winter and biking in summer. Ensure you check-in with guest services prior to flying. HPAC insurance must be presented and site orientation completed. There are three launches. Two South Launches and a North Launch. To get to the North Launch (closest), take the chair lift and go right. It's right there on Dan's Descent. During skiing season, be sure to leave enough room when setting up your wing to allow skiers to pass by. To get to the south launch, go straight, then left when existing the chair lift. Hike up to the Observation Tower (about 5 minutes). The SouthEast launch (new) is directly below the tower. For the South Launch, follow the Lefty Loosey bike trail called down (2-3 minutes).
