Default Best US Soaring Weather

I've got to go with Blairstown (1N7), too.

Until the OLC, it was really one of US soaring's best
kept secrets. About 7 miles from the Delaware Water
Gap, tows every day with even remotely flyable conditions;
reliable FBO (Yards Creek Soaring), great glider club
(Aeroclub Albatross), and pilots ranging from total
newbies to some of the most skilled in the country.

Now whoda thunk all this was available in the same
State which gave the world Tony Soprano and the New
Jersey turnpike?

If you were pulling up stakes, where would one move
to find:

1. The longest soaring season.

2. The best x-c conditions, on average.

The OLC would suggest Blairstown, NJ... Any other
opinions, with or
without objective data?
