Description
Is soaring for me?
Challenge is the key word - to fly well, to use the capabilities of your craft to its utmost, to make the most of the weather conditions of the day. It's always changing, and it's never boring. Your only limits are your own skill, desire, and initiative. If you're intrigued by the concept of motorless flight, interested in the weather, or just friendly people of all ages, fresh air and open spaces, and you want to feel at home in the sky, then we know that you will find the sport of soaring both challenging and exhilarating for years to come.
The morning has dawned bright and clear, and by 10 o'clock there are puffy white cumulus clouds popping everywhere. You strap into your elegant glider and check the controls and instruments. All OK, you give a thumbs up to your wing runner, who hooks the towrope to the towplane, and then signals "all out". It begins rolling and pulling you up into the air, and a few minutes later you're at 3000 feet - time to release from your friendly towpilot. Now it's just you, your sailplane, and the sky. Soon, a surge tells you that you're gliding through a "thermal", so you start circling and begin spiraling upwards at 600 feet a minute. While riding this rising column of warm air from a plowed field to cloudbase, a red tail hawk joins you! You are soaring, thanks to the solar heating of the ground. There is a remarkable amount of energy freely available in the atmosphere to the discerning pilot.
So, now where? A trip along the Rockies up to Golden and down to the US Border ? Perhaps, on another day, you will visit the Purcells to the west of the Columbia valley, fly above Jumbo glacier and fly around the "Lake of the hanging glacier" - the view below and the clouds are extraordinary!
