Registration for Willi 2019 is open. Clear the dates now: July 26
through August 4, 2017 (flying days July 27 to August 4).

Known by the regulars as “The Willi”, this co-ed hang gliding/paragliding meet
began in 1997 and has evolved into a great annual get-together for pilots from
across Canada, the US and elsewhere.

With The Lookout on Mount 7 in Golden, BC as the launch point, the competition
focuses on Open-Distance XC and Out-and-Return flights at one of the premier XC
sites in North America. This is your best, safest and most fun opportunity to
fly big distance in the mountains.

Don’t let the word “competition” deter you. The key word for this meet is “fun”.
While the experienced pilots will (as usual) want to pit their skills against
their peers, it’s all done in the spirit of good fun in a relatively low-stress
environment. For the intermediate and veteran pilots out there, there’s a chance
to build your XC chops at a big mountain, big air site. This is also an
excellent opportunity for low air time pilots to gain some XC experience and
learn from more seasoned pilots. You’re welcome even if you just want to hang
out at launch, watch what more experienced pilots do, then take a sledder at the
end of the day. In fact, our intent is to reward you for doing just that –
safely and well. This event is a great opportunity to learn and build your
confidence in a friendly atmosphere.

And it isn’t just about the flying. Golden is a great setting, and our base at
the Golden Eco-Adventure Ranch (where the primary LZ is also located) offers top
end tenting and RV accommodation. We’re planning a full schedule of learning and
social activities that will keep pilots, drivers and their families busy all
week.
