Hello Mike, last year I paid only 22 CHF for all the day, but this year 29 because I'm just 20 years old... If you are very motivated, you can do more than 10 flights a day from the middle station, at 2200m.
My first feeling about the thriller was that it doesn't glide very well, because I had a twister 18m before. With the thriller a fly faster but my sink rate is also bigger. After some flights, my opinion changed and I found it glides well, but only like a good acro wing...

Salut David, cool man, Verbier sounds great. How much does the ski lift cost per day for ya? and-
How do you find the glide of your Thriller 17? Does it glide well?
My morpheus had an amazing glide, but I find my flx2 sinks like a rock and still not that good on slow trim.
Your rhythmics are looking great, have a good winter dude.

The top take-off is 2700m high, and the landing place 850m, but you have to fly a big transition, so you have at least 1200m to perform some tricks... The wind comes rarely in this small valley so you can often fly.
It takes about 1h45 to go to Verbier from my home by car, but we go there almost each week-end...

Ow man,,, how high is Verbier? Looks like you guys are giving it some for the winter flying.
The Thriller is looking like the 2010 acro wing fosure!

Yes, it's the Thriller. I fly with the 17 and Matthias with the 20, because we have a big weight difference. It's a really good wing, very stable for helico, and very dynamic for rhytmics! You have to try it!

See you

Is it a Thriller? What size? What is your opinion about the glider?
