MattM 0 #1 February 1, 2003 Goin skiin' for a week at Breckenridge(sp?) Colorado, I was wonderin' if my factory diver would be a good helmet to keep my face warm. Seems like a good idea to me... But I think I'ma take my rig and ski off the side of the mountain and pull my string. Chuck(SkyMonkey ONE) always encourages me to do at least 2 tricks a day.

I can't find the video, but canopies have been launched at A-Basin. Not sure there's any cliffs high enough out here for you to try that stunt. If you find one though, let me know so I can get video... ----- ~~~Michael Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MattM 0 #3 February 1, 2003 Isn't it really a sport, I think it's called Para-skiiing... I maybe totally wrong on this one.... I remember seeing a guy ski off the side of a mountain and pull his main on discovery channel or somethin... Matt Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seems like a good idea to me... I've thought about it myself, but having had my ski goggles fog up several times, I think the face shield would fog really fast. Plus I haven't noticed it really being cold up there yet. Only time I get cold is on the lifts and a scarf takes care of that. be safeFly it like you stole it!

flyangel2 2 #5 February 1, 2003 I just got back from boarding at Keystone today. Very warm. Only had a few items of clothing on. I wear a ski/board helmet and when I went in for lunch, my hair was wet. The factory diver lens will fog, don't try it. Just rent a helmet at a ski shop. When are you going? What ever you do, stay away from the slopes on a weekend day, that is unless you like to stand in lines.May your trails be crooked, winding, lonesome, dangerous, leading to the most amazing view. May your mountains rise into and above the clouds. - Edward Abbey Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seeing as you decided to make that public posting on the DZ review of Denver Skydivers in the "Dropzones" page? Steve Woodford-previous owner -DS.

flyangel2 2 #13 February 9, 2003 Okay, what did I miss? I though this was a thread about skiing in Colorado. MattM, glad you had a good time at Keystone. The best part about that place is the end of the day. I like to walk through the village and sit outside with a beer before heading home. What with all the snow we just got, you should have had a few powder days. May your trails be crooked, winding, lonesome, dangerous, leading to the most amazing view.
