Let’s go flying!
There are a number of things to keep in mind:
- Paragliding is risky! While we will make it as safe as possible, there is always a small chance that you could get hurt or injured. You will be asked to sign two waivers, just so it is clear that you understand the risks: Revelstoke-Paragliding-Release-of-Liability-Waiver-2023, HPAC WAIVER 2020-2021 and HPAC WAIVER – Consent for Minor Participants 2020-2021
- Paragliding is a very weather dependent sport. If the conditions are not good, we do not fly. The decision is yours if you want to fly, but ultimately, the decision is the pilots if we will fly. We may be able to reschedule your flight for a better time if the conditions are not suitable.
- You should be able to run 10 meters (30 feet) on launch and landing. You and the pilot are the wheels on the aircraft, if you can’t run, it can’t fly. Ski and snowboard launches are the standard for winter tandems and require no prior experience.
- We will be up high and it will likely be cold. Bring an insulated jacket and long pants. Please wear sturdy light hikers or running shoes, with ankle support if possible. If you have a ski helmet, bike helmet or climbing helmet of your own, bring it, otherwise we have several different suitable helmets of various sizes to choose from. Light gloves are recommended as well. Please bring a camera, but ensure that you have some form of lanyard so that you are able to tie it to yourself.
* flights are dependent on suitable weather and wind conditions.
