Why do it if it's not fun?

Ready for Mountains???? Yikes, is there something I should know??
There's lots to know about mountain-flying, but nothing that deserves a "Yikes"!

Most important thing is the weather - know what the wind is going to do around the mountains, how to keep out of it, and how to leave yourself a way out in case it all starts to go pear-shaped. Also, a bit about high altitude flying. Nothing to cause any problems... but enough that a couple of hours with an instructor who's used to mountain-flying is recommended.
