Team Challenge - Day 3

The weather gods toyed with us today.  The valley was filled with fog early this morning, but that is normal on many good days.


An unusual low-pressure system that was wrapping on itself played havoc with our local weather.


The forecast changed during the task committee meeting, again a few hours later, and yet again after noon.  Unpredicted high clouds crept in from the south and rain was nearby.  The task committee prepared two tasks but postponed launch when the clouds in the valley hadn't dissipated by 1 pm.  We kept ourselves busy for another hour.



"Someone" customized Stacy's glider.  (Stacy is our "new" C-rated pilot.)


The task committee eventually cancelled the day as it was obviously un-soarable.  We sledded to the LZ below while our launches and landings were recorded for review after dinner.

Many of us need serious soaring, and soon!


Flights: 1, Duration: 0:07

Bummer dudes - Maybe it'll get better! Seeing Ross dancing just makes me weep.
