Sunny blue skies on Saturday were too inviting for paragliding enthusiasts at Shames Mountain.

On March 9, a few paragliders hiked to the top of the dome and skied off, enjoying a six to eight minute flight. Jupiter MacDonald landed in the lower parking lot. After the lifts were closed a couple of other paragliders landed near the lodge, with an après-ski audience to cheer them on.
