Thank you very much for the nice video. It looks like it might be
possible to soar from SLC to Pokatello under the right circumstances.

Tim Taylor has made such a flight several times. *Here in a recent OLC track that is close to the flight you describe..http://www.onlinecontest.org/olc-2.0....html?flightId...

Tim has also flown to Driggs, Idaho and return several times.http://www.onlinecontest.org/olc-2.0....html?flightId...

One of his flight that I distinctly remember was when Tim left Mackay and flew back home to Logan. *He used thermals going across the Snake River Plain and got on the ridge near Pocatello and flew the ridge back to Logan.http://www.onlinecontest.org/olc-2.0....html?flightId...

Logan is a great place to fly!! (As are Mackay and the King Mountain Glider Park)

Wayne,

Thanks for the links.

We have been able to fly from Salt Lake City to Pocatello, ID with
100% ridge.

Example flights can be found in the 2007 year OLC flights:

October 3rd 2007
Report "Ridge Running in Northern Utah (long)" October 11th 2007 on
this group.

Report on the yahoo group UTSoar: "How much wind is too much?"

Our current goals include:
1. Flight from Salt Lake City to Pocatello, ID 100% in wave.
2. 1000 k OLC flight with ridge and/or wave
3. 1000 k FAI three point flight with ridge and/or wave

The last two are a matter of when, not if they will be done. As
always it will require patience, the right day and a group of
dedicated pilots.

Tim
