Hi Mike,
Actually this was a pretty blah day for soaring in Utah. The winds aloft were 20+ knots from the west and blew all but the strongest thermals apart. It did make for good ridge soaring as you can see in part 3 of the movie. You can hear on the video other pilots talking about trying to get away from the airport and they kept getting shot down. I was lucky because I took the risk of there being ridge lift over Mount Timpanogus and went for it. Had the ridge lift not been working, I would have had to land at another airport. This was really just a local flight from Cedar Valley airport (home). I never got further than 40 miles away from home. Even a fairly bad soaring day in Utah is still pretty spectacular! Please consider coming out here in the Summer to try some soaring yourself. You will not be disappointed. Bruno |
