Ziplining Whitefish Mountain

Do you think it is possible to tell just how much fun you're going to have based solely on how much cool gear they make you wear?

The Plasman (et al) clan geared up for some serious fun!

There was actually quite a lot of instruction about proper form and safe landing techniques. Ah yes, the landing. I suppose if you are catapulting down a mountainside dangling from a cable, the stopping technique would be useful.

Here I am cool as a cucumber. This before I heard the maintenance guy come over the walkie talkie (no kidding) and say "We'd better replace cable two, that one isn't going to last much longer." Aack!

Our guide (who's walkie talkie had just broadcast to the entire group) backpedalled a lot saying that they were just very careful and replace the cables at the first sign of wear! Here's Amanda all ready to go:

Does this harness make my butt look big?

Just waiting for the command to go!

And we're off! This was one of the earlier lines where we weren't extremely high, the later ones were much higher and much longer.

And this is me, in pencil form. I'm not usually such a sucker for overpriced professional photos at events like this, but this one made me laugh so hard I guess it was worth $18!

I have to say that I found ziplining way more fun than I expected. An opportunity not to be missed. And yes, I did scream, er laugh, the entire way down each and every cable.

  1. You've got to enter the picture of you ziplining (last one) in a contest. It would totally win...
