Fuck that shit. Especially in mountain ranges, suddenly hit an epic downdraft on a ridge and your fucked.

Well it is going to be even more difficult on the plains isn't it

I wonder, if they put skis on a wingsuiter, reckon he could land it in the snow?

At 200 kms/hr ... YES ... but VERY badly ...

To much kryptonite in the snow?

I could'nt think of a retort to the Man of Steel but that will do nicely.

If you have got a long enough slope that is smooth enough and the right angle you could theoretically land a wingsuit without a parachute. Or, if you have have got a long enough slope that is smooth enough and the right angle and at the end has a sudden cliff dropping away you could practice while wearing a rig and then have an option if it doesn't go to plan. Sounds a bit out there, but I know someone who was talking about it and would be the kind of person to try it.

Give me half an hour on the computer and $1,000 and I'll kit you out. All you need is a hill with some snow on it. With no aircraft involved it would be a relatively cheap sport once you have all the gear.
