Las Vegas Wave

Wave Conditions in the Las Vegas Valley last Sunday.

Flights to 17,000 ft, no planned wave window to get higher.

I've read reports from Colorado, but have heard nothing from Minden,
Tehachapi or Cal City.

Wind reports on Mt Washington NH were 80knts, if it were not for the storm
dumping 47inches of snow in Pinkham Notch, we might be hearing of wave
record flights from the Sugarbush gang.

Call Tony at www.soarminden.com for updates.
I called him four times for the past three weeks
and it seemed there was wave from 25-30,000+ about
half the time, with 10 knots+.

Dr. Jack's had Minden with
http://www.drjack.net/WINDIP/krno.txt
and there were some days of 300mb 110kts, 700mb 45 knots,
AWOS 7 knots. These corresponded with the higher
30K+ flights (well, within a day of them anyway).

So it looks like the winter fronts brought some sierra
wave, and even may have cooked up some lukewarm thermals
at Avenal (I wasn't there, but the forecast surprised
me yesterday). Sure would be nice to check these things out
in person...instead of WORKING!

Cal City had two gliders go to 24,750 which got Paul Robinson
his diamond altitude in his Phoebus. The other glider was an
ASK-21 being flown dual.
