This winter the Squirrel team headed to Chamonix for a little slalom action. We built a series of 12m (40’) tall pylons, skied them onto the face below the Brevent exit, and sessioned the course for couple of days. It was a fun learning experience for all of us who set, maintained, and flew the course. For the pilots, it added an exciting new element to wingsuit terrain flying. Banking turns around the pylons and setting up our line for the downslope gates was a fantastic new way to experience a mountain that most of us had flown many times before. This probably won’t be the last time that the Squirrel pylons are deployed. Stay tuned for more, and we hope to see you out there. Cheers, from all the Team.
