Kinda the same in central New Mexico (Moriarty), except if the sun is
shining, we'll have weak thermals (2-4 kts) which carry us up into wave.
Looking at my logbook, I see 3 wave flights above 15,000' MSL last December.

We also have good food, several motels, and a brewery about a mile from the
field.

I got my glider add-on last winter, he http://www.miamigliders.com.
Great people, I recommend them 100%. There was normally some lift in the
afternoon, when fair weather cumulus would build.

But variety is the spice of life, and if I go again this winter, I'm just
wondering if the weather in Phoenix, Tuscon or SoCal is going to be good
for soaring. Any local knowledge would be appreciated!
