Another target market, which I do not believe is being exploited / sollicited
are skiers. Come April /May (at least in Southern California) the local ski
slopes are closed. In the Sierras, Mammoth might still be operating but only
until early July, and it is 6 to 7 hours away. Besides, at $50 or so for a
lift ticket per day, soaring might still be as "affordable" as skiing, once the
investment for lessons is absorbed.

How does one connect with the skiers ?

Forget about the skiers - our choice in attire is not trendy nor
expensive enough. Maybe if we wore clown hats with $400 outfits?
Seriously I donated a glider ride to a ski auction, and it went for
$50 - lets not talk about the $100 skies that went for $350. However,
in the same month I dontated a ride to an Avation Historical Society
and it went for close to $200 to a 70 year young woman. How is that
for promotion!
