Default Best US Soaring Weather

The Great Basin is the best in the USA for the summer. When the big
bang happens, its the best for your buck. Takeoff locations could be
discussed, but Ely seems to have the best bang for a early start
inwhich you can head out. Parowan is close, really close, and if
Parowan was on the east side of the range, then it could very well be
the best, for the summer. The best about these sites, is, you can go in
any direction, but summers don't last long, so play time is short.
Running the ridges for the winter, that's cool, ya, and its cold.
Spring time in Mifflin is good, really good when the wind blows and you
get in a ridge misson. Marfa, Hobbs, Uvalde, the homeless of ASA,
all have steller soaring, and remember Odessa, home of many long, long
flights. Moriarty has ABQ soaring club, whuch has shown the conditions
over the last several years in leading the USA OLC for clubs. Maybe
your answer comes in any day you can get up and away, is best where
ever your at, and I seem to like that the best.
