There are lots of different ways to come down once you've reached the top of Jackson Hole Mountain Resort. The obvious ones are skiing and snowboarding, but in the summer, the mountain offers some different types of downward travel. There's mountain biking. Ride the Bridger Gondola up and cruise the trail system down. There's hiking. But the one mode of travel people normally don't consider is paragliding. If you've never experienced a flight or want to check out the paragliding scene, this is the weekend to head to Teton Village. Aerofest 2008 will take place on Saturday and Sunday and will offer a great opportunity to experience the Jackson Hole "flying" community.
