Landing zone(?) in the park next to Impasse des Primevères and Rue Mummery

The paragliding task is a repeat task last used in Bavaria in season 14, leg 2 as a roadblock.

Zack. · « **Reply #14 on:** March 05, 2016, 11:04:28 AM »

Historically these legs atop a mountain are NELs though given how weird this season has been I wouldn't place any stock on precedent.

Also wouldn't the team whose clue flew down the side of a mountain (

) be penalized for having to get another clue? If the penalty puts them in last I'd argue that would be the surprising finish.

paradoxinee · « **Reply #15 on:** March 05, 2016, 11:11:58 AM »

Everyone have the same neck warmer thing?

Marionete · « **Reply #16 on:** March 05, 2016, 11:43:16 AM »

Aren't we quite sure about this being a NEL?

Anyway, I want it to be, because I predict the leg will be rather linear and Scott & Blair or Erin & Joslyn will come in last.

georgiapeach · « **Reply #19 on:** March 05, 2016, 01:10:23 PM »

I am kinda worried... Do caps38-44 show a paraglide crash/wrong place landing....

That could knock a team way down timewise.

Marionete · « **Reply #20 on:** March 05, 2016, 01:14:14 PM »

Brodie looks happy & excited, not terrified, so maybe it's all good..?

Looks like we have a Detour as well or two Active Route Infos.

Some digging in snow, maybe a TAR18 Search Detour switchback?

Dynamite Tossing?

georgiapeach · « **Reply #23 on:** March 06, 2016, 01:01:30 AM »

Looks like avalanche control, search and rescue to me! And lookee! REI clothes!!

gamerfan09 · « **Reply #24 on:** March 06, 2016, 01:05:55 AM »

Just a stray observation... could the paraglide Roadblock be the first task of the leg? We don't really see any teams near each other on the other parts of both previews...

Press Release!

“We’re Only Doing Freaky Stuff Today” (Chamonix, France) – The Race reaches new heights as teams climb 15,000 feet in the French Alps, and one team may be in jeopardy of elimination after dropping their clue down a mountain, on THE AMAZING RACE, Friday, March 11 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. Phil Keoghan (@philkeoghan) is the host.

Potential penalty?

gamerfan09 · « **Reply #27 on:** March 08, 2016, 08:58:41 AM »

Based on the cap post-episode, here's who dropped the clue off the mountain:

It seems like it's at the Roadblock... would Dana be told to do it again or given a penalty?

Anyone feel free to add pics, the racers are sharing their own on social media if anyone has time to snag some?

Also...long ago and far away when I taught Mountaineering medical rescue...I have NEVER heard the word ferret used as a rescue device. Has anyone or did CBS screw up?

A Yeti? Shouldn't they be in the Himalayas for that?

Also, it's another flag task. If there's a memory task at the end, I'm betting it will be about flags.

I'm hoping they mean Via Ferrata (loosely translated to Iron Roads) - here: http://www.chamonix.net/english/mountaineering/via-ferrata
Otherwise were going to see the interesting task of trying to put a saddle on a ferret...

Complete speculation but I wonder if Scott & Blair are NEL'd here. Looks like it's going to be a physically demanding episode

There's also a chance this is an EL and next next week is an NEL...
