Can anyone identify and airport where gliders and powered aircraft use
the same runway? Do they use opposite traffic patterns? Any other
operational issues?

At Dansville,NY, (KDSV) the gliders take off on a grass strip to the
right of 14, and fly a right hand traffic pattern. One day I was flying
into Dansville, and the winds were light and variable. The gliders were
departing from 14 (turf or right), and the tow plane was doing a 180 and
landing, flying straight in on the opposing runway, 32, on the bitumen.
It all sounded a bit different listening on the CTAF, to work out what
the active runway was, so I flew over the field and worked out what was
going on. The winds did favour slightly 14, so this could be a cause for
a concern for a head on type accident. I landed on 14 myself, once I
had worked out the 32 was being used purely for the convienience of the
tow plane.
