First XC Days Are Here.

Thursday, February 14th, 2008
gliding home after first XC of the 2008 seasonThe recent high pressure over the whole of Europe brought with it perfect conditions for February. The lack of snow in the valley has produced some good early spring thermals, peaking at 7m/s. However the climbs have been manageable, around 2-3m/s.

The lengthening days allowed myself and a few friends to fly around the local area and complete the usual 25km flat triangle. A nice day out.

With the XC season round the corner it’s time to start thinking about flying trips. If anyone is interested in flying here or Bassano early on in the season drop us an email at info@austrianarena.com

Some recent pictures are on the Winter Gallery, here.
