Default Winter Soaring Options?

It's generally good but, of course, I can't promise anything.

I show 4 wave flights last December with release altitudes ranging from 8.1
to 9.2K (1,900 - 2,100 ft AGL). Three of the flights were above 17,000' MSL
and one to a bit above 15,000' MSL. All were achieved by thermalling up
into the wave. You could look on OLC or Skylines. Dates were 12/1, 12/7,
12/8, and 12/27. Other days I was towing.

Will you be bringing your glider or renting from Sundance Aviation? They
have 2 Grob 103s and an LS-4 for rent.

How is the Moriarty wave in most years say Dec 15-20? I may be in the area
then.
