Default Parowan Safari

Absolutely fantastic and a great job on the web pages. I have been in
the area on vacation but unfortunately was not flying. My wife and I
are even considering a move to Utah in the future some day.
A couple quick questions:
Do they operate year round at Parowan as far as gliding and towing
operations?
Do they rent any gliders there or is it just private?
Thanks
Craig

This summer, my friend Morteza Ansari and I took our gliders out to
Parowan for 10 days of some of the best flying of my life. In the
first two days we logged a gold altitude, 2 diamond goals, and two
diamond distance badges. The scenery is beautiful, both from the air
and the ground, and the people are wonderful. It's a great place for
the beginner cross country pilot to stretch his/her wings. Great
conditions and lots of airports. If you want to see some photos and
get a sense of the place we put up two websites:

Enjoy!
