Default Glider Tows at Salida, CO

Maybe not everything you need to know is on that site.
The towplane is owned by a non local. The only tow pilot is a local who has a lot of other interests, does not need to build airtime, and has his own homebuilt RV.
This is an atypical operation. There are only a few locals and we want to keep this going, so please respect the local tow pilot and don't drive him away with expectations of a full time commercial operation, operating at your whim.
We pull out the tow rope, do our own hook ups, run our own wings, try to consolidate when we tow and be the most undemanding glider pilots I have witnessed at other towing venues.
Sorry for the bluntness, but I am one of the local pilots hanging in here by a string.
