Flying Jackson Hole


We've left Wilson, Wyoming for a few days in Boise, Idaho. We left Claire and her band of Lookout Mountain hang glider pilots behind. On Friday, they went up 43.5106333923,-110.907816816,Phillips and this time, despite the paucity of cu's were able to get up and soar. I don't know if they ever did get up the tram to fly from 43.595805,-110.871105,Mt. Rendezvous. Scot Trueblood remembers from his time there:


I flew in Jackson Hole heavily from 1994-2002, some of the best years of hang gliding in my life. When 43.4624842923,-110.766070427,Snow King and 43.4285096111,-110.766134521,Nelson's were still open to hangies, I had 5 fantastic foot-launch sites less than an hour from my front door, none of which really required a driver.


I was wondering if the new tram would be hang glider friendly, now I am green with envy to hear what a great time everybody is having up there. There would be more big flights from the Hole if there was more of a committed group of pilots flying hangs regularly. My best from the tram was about 40 miles, to past Bondurant, and from Phillips was 70 miles to Pinedale. Pretty exciting crossing the Gros Ventre range. However, I had many multi-hour flights within the valley where I would land back near my vehicle and be home for dinner and bedtime, sometimes landing near my house and breaking down in the front yard…!
