Yes, you can now go ziplining in the Vail Valley.  I'd never been before and was a tad nervous, but when our group was assembled I learned that the two "older" ladies in the group (only as a relative term!) had actually been out the day before -- and loved it so much that they came back for a second round the next day.  And well, they are always doing it on The Amazing Race, and I know I'm braver than at least half those people.  Of course, you also have to sign a waiver before they suit you up, but I consoled the lawyer in me by reminding myself that "assumption of risk" also assumes that all the gear is in good working order...you know, just in case and all.

The experience starts off with a fairly short line so that you can get a feel for everything without being up too high or going too fast.   Naturally, that just gives you a taste for more.  The last line is the longest, at about 1000 feet long and pretty high.  The husband made fun of me for hanging on for dear life at times, but I really had a good time (even looking down -- the view is incredible) and could have gone through all six lines again.  thanks for a great experience!

Super fun.  And not nearly as scary as I was expecting.  Tour starts on a bona fide ranch just a short drive from Vail/Avon/Beaver Creek.  Fun guides make this a great outing!
