Not sure if this is the correct term, but am looking for more info about skiing with a parasail. Has anyone had any experience first-hand? Is it difficult to learn? where do i purchase a quality parasail? Is there particular terrain that is better suited?

Any knowledge or insight you would like to share is appreciated

it is done all over. cost for a set up is about 2500 bucks. troy hartman was on here earlier posting about doing classes in CA. you should have a mentor in this sport that teaches you the ins and outs. this is a VERY dangerous sport, it makes base jumping look safe. To the OP it looks like you are in portland area, and I am sure there are a couple people that do it out there. pm me if you want some contact info to find some one out on the west coast, but you do need to have some cash to buy ur own gear.
