i suggest wait until august when the snow is gone..... at the moment schilthorn (2360m) reports 258 cm snow. the exit is on 3100m http://www.slf.ch/swiss-snow/rk12a_snow.html

YO is almost exact 1400ft to the landing area. with a good track in a phoenix fly suit i open in the middle between the treeline and the road. measured from a map this is 700ft horizontal distance. point of impact would be around 1000ft.....

I hope you take thouse words back,as theyre not fair.. i know myself that's not true..... it was not my intention to offend any one or start something like this. i have a lot of respect for the french community and i understand why they don't talk much to the rest of the world. from what we know here, i see one lesson: jumping alone is dangerous. a survivable injury can kill you in such a situation.

another tragic loss, and obviously no one cares..... i did not know René personally. i did not know Sean personally. i understand Sean was a long time, well known jumper. i understand this affects more jumpers on a personal level. but not one single reaction about this horrible accident? normally i don't post in threads like this one, mostly because i have troubles to articulate appropriate in this foreign language. sorry for the rant.... we lost two brothers. i feel sad. fly free René fly free Sean BSBD be careful out there!

everyone's body is different, everyone's most efficient tracking position is different. there are several "styles" who work. find the style who works best for you. ermm, did I not actually say that? obviously you know how the different styles work. all i want to say is try them all. noone can tell you whats best for you. the following is only a opinion, another style may work better for you..... a good BASE-track is not one perfect body position. you have to feel the air and change position dynamically. less adjustments necessary = better track think of your body as a wing. the first seconds you have to de-arch more to gain lift, a bit steeper angle to build speed. once you built enough forward speed reduce the angle of attack, but not to much or you stall the track and fall like a brick... a more straight position is now better to reduce drag. the full flight is what you can practice while skydiving. play with the angel of attack and the de-arch. ideally the full flight position is almost static, but in turbulent conditions a static position does not work very well. try to do only small adjustments with arms and legs while the body remains in the sweet spot. the upper body (first third of the wing) is the part who produces most lift. forget straight legs, good tracking happens between shoulders and knees. the lower legs are the flaps for the adjustments. use the last seconds before opening to turn forward speed in to lift, "swoop" the track. change the angel of attack but keep the body position. good luck

From Air Glaciers: Main Exits closed: January 12 from 08:00 AM to 12:00 AM and January 13 the whole Day Please don't Jump Yellow Ocean, La Mousse and the Nose in these Times. The Downhill Ski Race "Lauberhornrennen" produces a lot of Air Traffic. Air Glacier will be very busy and has no time to handle BASE-Jumpers. Jump somewhere else or take a day off. Go watch the race and support the BASE-Jumping Participant, Marco Büchel from Lichtenstein. Please remember: Staubbach is still closed! Thanks for your understanding.

The BLICK Article. Maybe someone can translate?

we have to stop it. or others will stop us.... throwing a beginner off la mousse is manslaughter in my opinion.

While Peter's Body is still somewhere on the Jungfrau, and probably remains there forever, we will have a memorial for him this Saturday. It's held in Austria, near the Swiss border. Anyone who likes to come can send me a PM including a e-mail adress for details. The attached photo shows Peter when we arrived in the middle of the night in front of the Havly Hotel in Stavanger for this years Heliboogie. Fly free Peter, we miss you.
