The Annual Willi XC Challenge Starts Tomorrow
Event Dates: July 24 – August 8, 2021
This will be the 25th year of what started as a side bet challenge amongst a small group for flying friends and has grown into an annual XC pilgrimage for many. Due to Covid restrictions, this iteration will not be the big event we had hoped for, but we want it to happen in the best possible way.
2019 – It’s All Over But The Crying…
Well the 2019 paragliding and hang gliding season on Mount 7 has come and gone. Snow arrived at The Lookout at the end of September this year. While there were a few warmer days in the valley through October, snow on the upper part of the access road continued to accumulate. Weather was unsettled and windy throughout the month so generally there was not much incentive to head up, even for a late season sledder.
Halloween 2018. We’re Done Here…
The 2018 season got off to an early start this year with the Lookout launch accessible by vehicle on the May 21st long weekend. The remaining days in May proved to be perfect weather for a number of epic XC flights.
This Way to Epic Flights. 2017 Season Is On!
Mt.7 Lookout launch has been accessible by vehicle for about a week now. The 2017 hang gliding and paragliding season in Golden, BC is officially open.
Let’s Go Flying!
