Speed flying on the Lauberhorn

Another nice day, up we go for some fun.

Spotted a group of guys on the Lauberhorn trying the latest sport – speed flying. You have a small parachute, just big enough to get you airborne if you ski really fast. These chaps had obviously never done it before, and there were a lot of crashes. Fair play to them for persevering!

Good visibility plus no crowds = ok to go fast!

Almost forgot. It was St Patrick’s day yesterday.
