Yes, Stefan, but you don't have several miles of 5 knot sink in between
your thermals either!

I was noting that at the start of our winter and the traditional end of
the thermal soaring season in Arizona, we had a couple of 300 km plus
flights the other day. I was wondering how many places in the world
have good late fall/winter thermals.

Lots of places (includng Chile) have spectacular conditions during
summer, but I was curious how many folks enjoy winter thermals?

I was driving in Idaho last February in snow showers and there were
snow devils that looked just like our summer dust devils. I suspect
that winter thermals might be more common than we think.
