Grey Thursday
High clouds filled the sky, and the sea breeze made it's way quicker than usual. The west was getting some sunlight, so I got to 5K there. But Kagel and east of it was not working. Joe made some more changes to the ramp, it is more rounded now. I launched into a strong cycle, and had no ground contr...

Thursday, April 11
There was Andy with tandem, Ron and I. We launched around 2, it was a bit windy, and the winds were a bit switchy and choppy. We were getting near 4.3, but nothing inspiring about it, specially towards T-s. Later I got to 5.1+ west of towers, but the winds had picked up more and it wasn't getting an...

Wednesday, April 4
TMW. Too much work. Once again expectations didn't meet the reality. It was apparent from the looks of it-crappy air. I launched first and it never got better until I landed around 4:30. Rowdy, turbulent roller coaster air, just like summer high pressure inverted crap, only cooler temps. I averaged ...

Friday again
We were watching conditions develop throughout the week and Friday looking pretty darn good, so it was somewhat disappointing to see how the soarcasts downgraded this morning. There were 3 trips to the top, couple of tandems and bunch of us. As the day went on, the flying got better and better, neve...

Friday (late) report
Me again, folks, the weather wasn't looking good for Sat and Sun, so Friday was not to be missed. I missed the Greblomobile, but joined them on top. Joe, Chad, Daryl (is back!), Erika and her mom, Rom driving. The day looked crappy with sharp inversion line about Kagel top. So off we went. We played...

Monday
March 11, A few of us, (the usual suspects) patiently watching winds, managed to squeeze a flight into Monday. It didn't turn out to be as good as predicted, but lots of fun nevertheless. The lift was a bit ratty, there was sheering going on near boundary layer, and conditions were improving slower ...

Max,
thanks for the report. It's nice to know about my fellow pilots' flights,
specially when I can't make it.
BTW, your singing is phenomenal, you might wanna join the band
with Phil and Larry

I put together some short video clips of the event and used some photos also taken by our friends to make this short video.

Hi Alan, First, I thank you for making this wonderful tool available for us. I contacted you couple of months ago about issues we were having with RASP, and was explained, that it was a temporary problem, and was going to go away as soon as the migration to a new hardware was over. I wonder if you a...

Monday report
No, it didn't blow down, it turned launch-able right about 1:00 and flyable for 3-4 hours, until the sea breeze made it's way to the slopes and shut down the lift. And even then and all the time before that the winds were pushing from both sides of the range, so we were getting wind direction readin...

Wednesday, good day
Somewhat unusual turnout for a winter midweek, lost the count, but probably about 10 happy souls... Cutter and Emily got above 5K, others around 4.5, a little harder to get up if you got low, but nice and a little elusive thermals to mid 4s otherwise... Beautiful, lovely day. Good landings too. Carp...

Tuesday, January 22 was a blast!
It was much better than expected (and looked). There were 4 of us, Big Mike, Jonathan, Darryl and I. The sky started to turn white/grey too soon with high clouds floating in. About 1PM, ready to launch, it looked like the best we could hope was an extended sledder. I launched, carefully timing the c...
