If you're willing to travel, I recommend the most famous US site -
Ridge Soaring in Julian, PA. Tom Knauff and Doris Grove have a great reputation in the soaring community, and will set you safely on the right course. And I can vouch from experience that you won't forget any day get the chance to fly along the Appalachian ridges when the wind is higher than 15 kt from 310! -John |

Look up the common routes, then "fly" them in the comfort of your lounge chair. It helps enormously with orientation and gap-crossing when the time comes to do it for real. You can even scout for fields. John Cochrane |
