How are we different?

If you take time to compare one school to another (and you should), you will find that the big difference is;- our instructors really have been teaching for years (this means they know all the great teaching tricks and have good judgment)

 

  • We are a very large distributor of paragliding products and we use almost brand new equipment when teaching (new equipment makes learning safe and easy)

  • We incorporate boat and truck towing into our programs which means that you are guaranteed to have an opportunity to fly thousands of feet over the ground where you can learn about 360's, big ears, speed bar use and a whole host of other maneuvers that cannot be practiced when flying off of a hill

  • We teach year round, 7 days a week (weather permitting).

  • We can accommodate anyone’s schedule. Please email us for more information or better yet, give us a call. 801.255.9595.

Park City Paragliding

Park City Paragliding is staffed by award winning instructors with as many as 17 years of experience. These pilots have flown all over the world and have numerous/ multiple achievements to their names...

We offer:

Learn from accomplished competition pilots, an examiner for the national organization or one of the top aerobatics pilots in the country. One thing is for sure; you will be learning from a personable and confident instructor that knows how to have fun and keep things safe.

We pride ourselves on offering one on one or one on two instruction and we take our time. Some students are comfortable with a quick progression and others move along very slowly. We have learned that over the long term, the student that progresses more slowly will actually enjoy the process more. In the end, our students consistently exceed the USHPA minimum requirements for attaining a P2 rating and have a great time.

We do teach all year round but the weather is nicest from April to October. You can begin your lessons on any day. Most people schedule a four or five day visit and then return at a later date for a few more lessons before earning their wings.

We can recommend some lodging options for you and we have solutions that span all the way from camping at the site to staying the finest resorts in Utah.

We have been teaching full time since 1991 and during that time we have excelled in many areas including: teaching beginners, teaching people how to teach and teaching people how to fly tandem. We have even been recognized by the USHPA and featured in numerous magazines and television programs.

If you check around, you will find that our instructors and our program are highly recommended. Many pilots come to us for continued education and remark that they wish they had come to us in the first place.

You will be making the most of your valuable time. If you can't travel to Utah, let us know where you are and when you are free. We have associate instructors throughout the continent; some of which can travel to you.

LESSONS AND PRICING

Deluxe P2 Pilot Certification:

The Deluxe course is hard to match. The most important thing to know about this course is that it is unlimited! That means you can return to the Point of the Mountain or any other place that we happen to be teaching; and be welcomed like family. Years from now when you want to become an advanced pilot and have the rating that goes along with it, we are here and we will help you along at no additional charge. All that we ask of you is that you be firmly dedicated to becoming the best pilot that you can be. Our students graduate with excellent skills, solid experience and their own equipment so get excited! Your day will start early and the lessons are somewhat taxing both mentally and physically.

Look forward to ground school and classroom sessions during the mid-day and then an evening lesson that goes until sunset. Please send a deposit in advance of your arrival and expect us to apply $500 of your tuition toward your equipment purchase. Students purchase their own equipment by the fifth day or the twentieth flight in general. We are experts at finding the best possible equipment for our students.

Tandem Flights:

Tandem flights are the easiest, fastest and safest way to experience paragliding for the first time. Our USHGA Advanced Tandem Instructors have flown thousands of safe, injury free tandem flights. We have taken passengers from 4 - 84 years old and from 20 - 275 pounds. If you can jog 50 feet, you can fly with us!

After a ten minute briefing our professional tandem pilot will take you into the air for a flight that lasts from 15 - 50 minutes depending on flying conditions.

Safety? We have flown THOUSANDS of commercial tandem flights over the past 15 years with a PERFECT safety record.

We use state of the art tandem gliders especially built for two. The passenger (you) and the flight instructor each have their own comfortable cushioned harness. You are then connected together and finally connected to the glider. Two minutes later, you're airborne! Once in the air your flight instructor will explain to you what he is doing and how paragliders fly. If conditions permit, you may be offered hands on control of the glider.

Be sure to bring your camera, long pants, a wind breaker, sunglasses and sturdy footwear, preferably boots. A tandem flight is best suited to a person seeking an exciting one time event or for beginner and intermediate pilots wishing to brush up on their skills and learn new ones.
