Hi Greg,

Feel free to contact me directly. Not sure there's that much written down (I do have a couple of general ridge briefings) but the obvious thing to do is to go download a bunch of flight off OLC (flights longer than about 400K tend to be ridge missions around here) and look at them carefully on SeeYou. I find it useful to load several flights from different pilots and watch the transitions, as there's usually more than one way to accomplish some of them.

I'm interested in doing some ridge flights in the Northeast US at various sites like Blairstown, Wurtsboro, Springfield etc... while bringing fellow club members along to share the new experiences. Can anyone point us to specific information and resources for the different sites? I've been able to locate a few general briefings for Ridge Soaring and some older info in ACA's Blue Fly series but would like to get some more recent information about the current tow operators, suggestions for Silver, Gold, and Diamond distance tasks, recent land out area info and basically anything that will help some newbies get on the ridges safely. Any help with upwind ridge transitions and the best places and techniques to make the transitions would be appreciated too. Thanks in advance.
