"Zen in the air! This was one of the most amazing experiences ever. My husband gave me a glider for my birthday and I loved every second of it. So peaceful and quiet. We are both skiers and hikers so it was so cool to get a view of the mountains that you can't see from the ground. Shad was the pilot and he couldn't have been nicer. I can't wait to go again!"
