Paragliding XC - An Alpine "Flight of Terror!" - Big Storm in Chamonix

In the Alps, Big Mountains means Big Weather! Chamonix, France, near Mt Blanc. A day can turn on you out of nowhere. Our first trip flying in mountains, first time at this site, and the weather (and a massive rain-cloud) struck! Four of us flying, this video contains perspectives from two paragliding pilots (Gerry & Barry) trying to work to get out the sky, fast! It shows why rapid decent techniques, pilotage and SIV are so important. For your enjoyment and shared lessons ... An Alpine "Flight of Terror" !!!
