Default 27 crash at Ely?

The accident occurred on the east ridge just a few miles from the airport. It is thought by another pilot that he was thermalling just above the ridge top and got blown to the lee (east) side of it and attempted to glide across to the windward side unsuccessfully. His data logger file was recovered by another glider pilot and provided to the sheriff and, ultimately, the NTSB. Marek was an extremely experienced pilot and knew the area very well. He will be sorely missed.
