Well, kite skiing is not paragliding. The kite never goes high.
Get in touch with these guys:

They run a few serious battles for land use.

Agreed that they are not the same, but the paragliding history is a proxy for how the Grand Teton National Park management reacts to new "extreme" sports...also, one ranger told us that if you jump with a snowkite, when your feet are off th eground that is considered "non-motorized flight" when in the park. This is a different view that other national parks...too bad we don't have consistency amongst NATIONAL parns...

Actually, I'm just a kiter...I wasn't here for the event last year, I wasn't involved with event organization, I don't sell gear, I'm not sponsored, I don't teach, just trying to kite and have fun and help others maintain access to federal lands...
