ZIP, SOAR AND DUNE BOARD

At Mammoth Mountain resort, California, hurtle at 60mph down the new Mammoth Mega Zip. With a 2,100ft vertical drop, it’s the biggest in the USA (www.mammothmountain.com).

Fly like the Wright Brothers on a replica 1902 glider at Kittyhawk, North Carolina (www.kittyhawk.com).

Go dune boarding, like snowboarding on sand, in Colorado’s Great Sand Dunes National Park (www.nps.gov/grsa).
