But hundreds are celebrating the weekend in sky-high style.
The iconic Mt Borah near Manilla is playing host to the Paragliding State of Origin Competition, which has attracted more than 200 pilots from around Australia.
It is tipped to be the largest paragliding event in the world.
The competition is aimed at novice pilots, with experienced team leaders coaching them along to fly as many cross country kilometers as possible daily.
The state of origin-theming, aside from NSW versus Queensland, also includes teams from ACT, and the World Barbarians.
Last year, NSW finally took back the trophy after many years in the wilderness.
But this year Queensland is looking to steal it back with a well-organised state team attending.
The action kicked off in fine conditions on Friday, with the competition running until Easter Sunday.
