Fellow soarists,

I did not make myself clear. My apologies.

The production company is not making a slasher flick. It is trying to find
EXPEDITIONS with an element of danger that might include a survival segment.

At our wave camp last week, one of the pilots managed to get lost above
the closing cloud cover at about 3000m. He dashed downwind for 80km,
and managed to land safely two valleys away.

Maybe that story could be fattened up a bit, by making him (or her?) get
lost during an altitude record attempt, getting caught above an
approaching front, hitch a ride with the jet stream, get low, still
wihtout a hole to decend through, but find another wave and get up
again. But of course only to get low again.

When low again, she can just make out some ground features through the
here rather thin cloud cover. She manages to land spectacularly due to
the strong turbulence, but safely due to her superior skill, on a frozen
lake, a long way out in the wilderness, 1000km or perhaps 2000km away
from her starting point. Of course, whith wave conditons, the weather
in the mountains can be rather rough, so of course we can now make up a
long, spectacular and exciting story about survival in the wild and
desolate mountains in terse and windy winter conditions.
