I meant it. See 3 sisters RASP, 5-6k top of thermals PM. But wave likes a thermal layer below the stable layer, at least per the books. Didnt notice...

Deep convective layer? I think you mean shallow, no? And, would you say the Norcal RASP or the Williams RASP was accurate for NNW wave?

We were flying in 50-60 mph NNW wave (330) two weeks ago. My lesson is that it works if you can climb 2 knots. If you stop to climb at 1 knot and you...

Hello Everyone Zoom link has been sent out!! If you did not receive it or would like to sign up please let us know at either...

Yes, upwind is always harder, but the SF trips show that our modern equipment makes it very doable. So long as headwinds are <60kts, and you can...

Getting upwind to the trinities seems like a stretch! But we're learning there is a lot of wave in all sorts of wind directions. Maybe buttes and...

Buttes wave should work late afternoon as the wind swings to 000-010. OTOH, I don't know of anyone trying it at 350 or so....

Any thoughts on butte wave Saturday for the less experienced or less adventurous pilot?

Saturday's wind is 340 early, swinging to 010, so not usually the wind direction that I fly for wave, but the forecast wave strength on the...

My comment on Monday is in that thread.

Hi Ben! While I'd love to have faith in that chart, I brought up on my Windy to confirm, and it looks like you're using the ECMWF model. You should...

What do you think about West wave Monday??

As I stated last night (see posting above) The wx parameters for this task, as flown: Release/ off tow/ start... over antelope...

I tweaked the weather on the BeginnerPKmtn task1. release over 3 sisters at 5,000, caught first thermal east of Indian Ranch.. 4,000 up to cloud...

Pablo, I see you have a "fix" on those tasks. I'll try a couple of them .

Interesting day forming... There should be some nice valley cu's for a bit with cu's in the foothills. The wrinkley bit is how much the NW-N builds...

Saturday looks quite a bit better in the friday evening forecast. The convergence line seems pushed past the peaks however, with the best lift...

I decided not to fly when I looked at the wx at 8 am. Tomorrow is looking promising...

Here are the four tasks in condor form with slight differences to cylinder size due to condors limitations. Ill include brief descriptions on how...

Checking the SSA tracker and OGN, looks like no one is flying wave today. Tomorrow looks like good post frontal day. I’ll be flying from Byron and...

I will be in the area so if conditions are favorable I will rig and fly. Dan (DC)

There will probably be a little spread out, but it will dry out as the day goes on. It currently looks to be like soaring will occur with some...

The 3 sisters skew T shows lift to about 4,000' at the max of the day, and about 3,000' at williams. You'll likely stay up.

I agree Kemp. No flying for me today. I'm now leaning towards Friday. Time will tell...

Here at WSC, it's high overcast. The SMF Metar has 15k and 25k overcast. I'd lean toward Friday as the wave profile looks better than today.
