Preparation

If you are planning to visit and try this exciting sport, you should arrive at the pro shop on top of the mountain at 8 a.m. (Eastern time). Bring jeans or other long pants, sneakers or running shoes, and clothing appropriate for the season to wear during your lesson. Bring a change of clothes for after the class. To prepare for your first flight, walking, jogging or climbing stairs for a couple of weeks before you come can help make your training lessons easier.
