Looks like its time for my annual where the hell did summer go. The first big winter storm of the season is setting up to drop 1-2 ft of snow in Flagstaff. This will surely change things as far as frequency of my blogging. I seem to blog more in the winter due to the fact that I'm having more fun. I tow paragliders more and the snow in the mountains means water in the desert and a lot of Kayaking. A lot of folks don't know it but Arizona is loaded with creeks and rivers that come alive in the winter. Not to mention that getting paid to ski keeps me quite busy in the winter also. Looks like that will be happening next week after this storm leaves the mountain buried.
I've been working with some outstanding students from down south. Phoenix brings Donna up here. And Vann of Tucson have been expanding their flight skills when ever we can get together. I'm stoked to have them on board to represent what I know to be the finest paragliding education available in our area. On that note I'll be working with Chandler Papas of Desert Wind Paragliding on a winter tune up coarse. WX understanding, ground handling and towing will be the focus. I'm looking forward to this as he is the only Instructor in AZ that has a solid program. And getting us both on the same page benefits the entire community. Look for these clinics to show up some time in early Jan. and late Feb. Stay tuned to my website: www.flagstaffparagliding.com
It looks like I have some work to do as Laura has just yelled down the hall that its time to go find a Christmas tree. Thanks for checking in here gang!
Happy Holidays!
