Cool! Is it legal? I dont think anyone gets arrested for backcountry skiing or snowboarding, don't know about paragliding but it doesn't seem like it would fall into the illegal base jumping category.

eKat, I sure like your catchy thread title, mainly because it's convenient to look for it and find it so easily, but also because it's just what it says, there's no trolling, just poling, cajoling, and maybe some post-holing, which can have its moments.
So here's a little drooler of a trip report for yez, kid. Waiting for snow is harder than waiting for Christmas ever was, huh?

ahh comon Ekat.. this is typical and you know it.. ;)
You tell those Calgarians that they better let you guys ski on the snow (aka their golf course) because they do it here in Whistler and we're a world class resort for f sakes!! ;) hahaha.. if not.. just poach... i'm sure you know the deal.. ;)

Where's the tenth tee, man, I thought it was right here?
Nah, I think it's over there.

I think maybe you should use the blue. It'll be good for now. When the sun sets below that row of pines we can go for the green.

Tis the season to be haunted by ghosts of winter's past:
Dreaming in white here waiting for renewal.

Yeah, I missed my chance to make some early season turns on Teton Pass last Friday. It had warmed up too much by Sunday morning. Rats!
The terrain right out our door should be fun, if it ever gets covered! We be at 6,600', at the junction of the Hoback and the Snake.

Ekat thats the cheap fast way.... these guys ain't gonna pay to get em done by hand so that's their option... Tucker Poling is always our last option. It's best to do it when it's raining for optimum results but they aren't the same as by hand for sure.
alan- warm up there too eh? hmm makes sense.. ENSO is calling for netural to weak El Nino conditions... so warmer..
The Jetstream is also south right now bringing a lot of warm air....

I hope it's not warmer here this winter - last year was the best winter ever, deep record snowfall and no rain, just beautiful winter the way it's supposed to be. Of course, it would have been nice to have a real summer too but that's asking too much...
