Default Low altitude wave.

Pretty cool video!

Last week I entered wave (10 kts) on the departure turn (6,700 MSL, 500
AGL). We completed a full 360* turn and I released at about 3,000 AGL. Top
of the lift was only about 16,000 MSL and it was very cold, but still a nice
way to spend a winter day!

We get a low altitude wave when this layer of stable air rolls over
our ridge and bounces back up. Saturday we topped out at about
6500MSL. Our valley floor is 600MSL.
