Scott Harris (right) owns Jackson Hole Paragliding. Flights literally jump off a mountain behind the Jackson Hole Mountain Resort (below) and float to a meadow near the resort (far right). A tram takes paraglider pilots to the top. Several paragliders fly at one time, filling the sky with color. About a mile to the left of the resort is a ranch where the Wyoming Balloon Company and Elevated Ballooning of Jackson Hole operate early morning flights. Depending on winds, the balloons land near the resort or across the road a half mile in front of the resort. AOPA PILOT • 59 • APRIL 2011 Paragliding
