So -- can we agree on a definition of "mountain flying" before we
start getting snotty?

Perhaps mountain flying is where you have minimal terrain separation.
Not my idea of smart if you encounter a downdraft due to mountain wave
action...which I have.

Would you say that the pilot who impacted mountainous terrain in the
Vail Pass area was mountain flying?

Who would you rather fly with....him or me?
