I know, Panorama has a chairlift…. but Mt. Swansea was calling, he felt left out … someone had to do it!
Life is good !

Here is an update of the students who started with P1 lessons last November… They are now well into their P2 supervised flights at Panorama Mountain Resort !
If there is not too much snow in the valley, I might start another course in the 2nd week of February and do the P2 flights in Feb/March/April at Panorama Mountain Resort

Currently running a paragliding course at the Invermere Airport.
After the P1, they will do the P2 flights at the Panorama Mountain Resort

This is why I life here, Mountains, Lakes, Rivers and a great Community!
This is the way I like to finish a day here in Paradise!

I posted a lot of hang glider trike flying pictures lately…. I still love to hike & fly… I did 4 hikes and flights within the last week … hiking and flying like this is my stress relief and is like meditation to me and I still love it!

Lucas Grief made a reel out of Erik’s 2024 paragliding clips.
Fun times!

Thanks to Amanda and Larry for implementing Penny’s picture into this year’s Lakeside t-shirt.
Even the slogan “Every Flight Counts” is awesome.
For Penny “Every flight, Day, hour… counts” and you have to do the best out of it!
Thanks again to everyone, We love you all!

Sunny & Hot, that was the weather at the 28th annual Panorama Easter meet.
Saturday was an exceptional day with pilots flying up to 3000 meters and 2 flying out to Invermere.
I ended up landing at the Invermere airport and getting a ride back to Panorama shorty after.

This years winner is Pete Peter Kozak followed close by Kelsey, Frank, Tanya and Erik.
Thanks again to all the staff and the Panorama Resort for accommodating us and to everyone who came.

Pilots tasks will be dropping Easter eggs (plastic bags filled with snow) and target landings at the designated landing site (Golf driving range). And if possible race out to the valley to Lake Windermere.

Not just about flying, it is also about socialising with pilots, family and friends.
Free social and paragliding event. Pilot lift ticket is $40/day.
Pilots meeting is March 30th at 8:30 am at the day-lodge.
Let me know who is planning to come this year so we can make arrangements for the Saturday evening dinner.
