She was believed to have been ''speed riding'' at the time, a combination of skiing and flying down the mountain. The injured woman was described as a ''qualified recreational pilot''. Speed riding is a hybrid sport involving small paragliders and skiing and participants can reach speeds of more than 140kmh. An injured woman believed to have crashed while "speed riding'' is carried to the Otago Regional Rescue Helicopter at Cardrona Alpine Resort yesterday.
