Nice Sky Adventures

Troy Bolton said it best with, «we’re soarrrrrin’, flyyyying!»
But really, with the wind beneath my bingo wings, I felt free and alive, ready to take on the world.
Nice Sky Adventures were very accommodating to our group of five. It’s kind of a gamble because you have to have ideal wind conditions, and when we went it wasn’t the MOST perfect of days. So we were given three options: come back a different day, wait and see if it gets better, or still go but the ride would be shorter. Since we are not from around here, we decided to go and make the most out of it!
We had Alex and Chris, who were both wonderful pilots and easy to chat with. If you’re feeling at all nervous – KNOCK IT OFF. Because these homies know what they’ve been doing and they’ve been doing this for years and years. So just go! Go and enjoy your day, enjoy the friendships you’ll make, and enjoy the freedom you’ll feel while paragliding!
TIPS & TRICKS:
* If you love it as much as I did, ask them about becoming a pilot yourself. They actually travel the world during the winter and teach others how to fly – so, what do you say?
* Bring good tennis shoes because you will be running off the side of a mountain. Also bring a comfortable jacket and wear thermals under your jeans (if you go in the morning at 8AM, like we did). They also have you wear a helmet, so don’t put your hair in a nice top knot, because it will become a top NOT.
* Practice taking some selfies on a GoPro – you’ll definitely want to get some fun and better angles with your chute in the background.
* Have fun and practice your smile, because you’ll definitely be doing a lot of it.

I was in town for a training event and my classmates and I stumbled upon a Groupon for Paragliding. 12 of us bought the Groupon and Nice Sky Adventures was very accommodating of our large group. Due to wind restrictions we had to go back a 2^nd day for some of our group to go (8 went the first day, 4 of us returned the 2^nd in hopes of getting airborne). The 2^nd day 2 got up and 2 of us had to return for a third day due to wind restrictions again. While this was a little inconvenient, it was simply due to weather and –as we all know– we can’t control the weather! The owner and his crew were so kind and accommodating and made us all feel relaxed and safe. I was one of the last 2 to go (so we finally got to fly on the 3^rd day) and let me tell you it was worth the wait. We had wonderful wind conditions and it was such a serene feeling to be flying above a hawk that we spotted. The harness made me feel secure and was comfortable. I flew with Chris who was incredibly knowledgable and calm and he listened to what I wanted to get out of the experience. He gave good instructions and made me feel safe the entire time. Bonus– the flight was captured on Go Pro video/​pictures which I have not yet seen, but saw a teaser photo on their Facebook page (just went flying tonight). I would highly recommend Nice Sky Adventures, they’ve been awesome to work (and fly) with!

I tend to be leery of postiive review after postive review, especially nowadays, because so many companies seem to bribe customers into writing a positive review. As unbiased as i can be and with no bribes i assure you, i just want to say that these guys know customer service. I have very seldom come across a company like this where the focus of success is entirely based on the customer’s positive experience. Go and enjoy the heck out of flying, and if you don’t enjoy it, they will do whatever they can to make sure you walk away happy. I highly recommend Nice Sky Adventures.

I went on the north side at sunset and it was INCREDIBLE! Absolutely loved it. We got a bunch of us friends to go and each of us would rate it ⁵⁄₅.
The crew and instructors are very safety conscious, professional, fun, and made it so EASY and comfortable.
Tips: bring sunglasses just in case, comfortable shoes, & comfy clothes
We are all very excited to go back. I would recommend it for anyone of all ages/​no experience necessary. They take tons of pics and video for you too. LOVED IT

I had a great time paragliding with Nice Sky Adventures! They were all very nice and easy to talk to and when my flight ended early because of the lack of wind, they offered to take me up again another day! I was able to fly from both the north and south side of the mountain and really enjoyed both!
The pilots (I flew with Howie) are great at explaining what you are doing, what others around you are doing and what to expect on your flight. They are a great company, I highly recommend them!

I bought paragliding tickets for my boyfriends birthday through this company because I heard so many great things about it. Every good word said about this experience and company was true! I had the time of my life and got to fly with the owner!
We are going back in two weeks for another round of adrenaline and a great time! Thank you nice sky adventures for an amazing flight!

I am surprised to be the first person to write a review for Nice Sky Adventures! With the ski weather not being top quality in Park City one day during vacation, a few of us decided to try something new — paragliding! At least we thought we were going paragliding, but turned out the wind was too strong for the parachutes, so Chris (the owner) was kind enough to offer to let the 3 of us go hang-​gliding instead!
Turned out the wind was good for hang-​gliding that morning, but not paragliding. We took turns flying tandem with ‘Birdman’ (Kevin of Birdman Academy — a friend/​partner of Nice Sky Adventures) and really enjoyed the experience! As the lightest member of the group (and only female), it was easiest for us to stay airborne than my two guy friends. I was in the air for maybe 15 minutes, and their flights were a little shorter than that. We’re all adventurous people, but it really didn’t feel scary to be in the air, it was just exciting. It would have been fun to do a lesson (maybe next time!) but I also felt very trusting that our guide knew what he was doing. We stayed in one general park area, which was nice and open, although it would have been fun to explore further. I do know that in the afternoon they fly out from the other side of the mountain though, so there might be more ground to cover if you go in the afternoon.
As a nice touch, they also used a Go-​Pro to record some bits and pieces from before/​during/​after the flight, which was awesome. They sent it to us by email the very next day! Also, I must say that they are the most responsive paragliding company in the area. Before making a reservation, I had called around to a few different companies, and I had no trouble reaching Nice Sky Adventures anytime I called. Most other companies didn’t even pick up!
If you’re looking for something fun and exciting to do, I’d recommend Nice Sky Adventures!
