ski flying setup

Lay out the glider as for a normal running launch. On gentle slopes, set up with some slack in the lines so that the wing will inflate smartly rather than dragging on the snow. On a slope with dry winter snow, the canopy may tend to slide around. Dig out a platform or find someone to anchor it if necessary. In wet spring snow, you may be able to get the canopy to stick in place even on steepish slopes. If a breeze is tossing it around, pack a few snowballs along the trailing edge to hold it in place.
Lay your skis down in front of the wing, pointing in the direction of launch. Shove the tails into the snow right up to the ski bindings so that the tips are sticking up a little. That way when you step into the bindings the skis won't start sliding. Make sure the lines are clear and you're fully harnessed up, then step into the bindings as the last step before launching. Be especially careful not to tangle any lines in the bindings as you step in. Also watch out for sharp ski edges slicing your canopy or lines.
