American Pilot, Mitch Riley (USA3) will also be competing in the X-Alps for the first time and boy has he been training. Fortunately, he's also a really nice guy to hang out with, if you can keep up! :)

Vol-Bivouac - Across the Bugaboos

Only in my wildest dreams ..a Vol-Biv (fly camp) connecting the mighty Slocan and Columbia Valleys.

Inspired by many great adventurers, pushing the boundaries of this niche sport, this was my first time going at it solo and I am still ecstatically grateful at the result.

Thank you for sharing this with me. <3 Ben
