Our Club is reworking towing height fees. We are based south of Denver (elevation 7,000' msl). Normal tow heights are to about 9,000-10,000' msl. We have new members who now are asking for tows to 14,000' msl. This is causing up to 45-minute waits for the next tow. Normally, we get about four or five tows per hours, but a high altitude tow drops us to two tows per hour.

How high does your club allow for tows?

The normal way of charging by the 100' doesn't work because of the reduced climb rate (what are you using for these tows?), so the answer is to charge by tach time. Maybe all tows should be done this way (John Templeton uses tach time at Parowan for all tows). This impacts everybody else, so I would poll them on how to handle it. Personally, I would make them go early or late unless no one else is waiting.
