Default Parowan Safari

Why 65 gliders preferred Nephi this year is a mystery.

Hmmmm, let's see... 100' x 6300' runway @ Nephi vs. 75' x 5000' runway at Parowan. Taking off to the south at Parowan is uphill and has almost no options for a rope break (dangerous). Nothing at Parowan other than the taxiway.. Parallel grass runway at Nephi 100'+ and 7000 feet long.
Nephi flew 8 days straight. Parowan was shut down roughly 1/3 of those days because of storms.
Accommodations and food options are better at Nephi.
Good organization and logistics for non-motorgliders at Parowan.... so tows for 65 sailplanes. Tows at Parowan for 10ish?
Do I need to keep going?
