Newbie commercial school question

If you can wait until the weather settles down (say June) I'd highly
recommend Ridge Soaring in Pennsylvania. They have a couple of "full
immersion" courses and will tailor them to your needs/ability. Tom's
reputation is unsurpassed and the other instructors are also of the
highest caliber. Read as much as possible before hand and plan on
reading more when you're there. There's a bunkhouse at the field
(included in the cost of the course when I went a few years ago) and
plenty of places to eat at nearby State College. Its a wonderful place
to soar.
