| Oh hell yeah, I was needing this. First soring flight since Oct last year. It was only ridge lift but man was it ever consistent. Not a lot of pilots there, Eric T, Mike, Dave and Sunny Jim. Larry and Tina showed up later with a few more but I was already drinking beer! Launched and headed over to the south. Never found anything going up like mad, max alt was predicted at only 3k and most only got to 2.5k. Played all over the place only to return to the ridge to get back above launch. That took some work at first. But then as the afternoon went on, it was easier. It was fun going out looking for lift and then head back to the ridge for more lift. Ineeded this!! | |||

| First Atos flight in a while. Thanks Larry for driving so I could hike up! Flew with Chris Culler, Darren Darsey, Larry Snyder, Gary Braun, Bill Jensen, Bill Shepard, Marty Vendetta, Paul Dees and a few others. Lift was just over 4000 ft. I was only going to 3400 ft. Mostly flying north of tiger toward I-90 fwy. Lots of room as most were spread out and easy to stay up. | |||

| Launched the south and thought I had it but let it go after a hundred over. Flew to the East and started to get drilled looked like a tough glide to the LZ when a little birdie caught my attention. cranked her up from 400' to cloud base and flew over the freeway. Had to dive from an approaching leerjet 600' over I-5 who was aparently dodging the low cloud base as a nimbus formed and the snow started falling. nice landing in an old familiar field. | |||

| Wasn't suppose to be good...but it was. lots of friendly eagles. plenty of big ears as the hangs took over the sky creating extra drivers on top. Parked to the east over the big part of the hill and just touched cloudbase before an eagle lured me back into sink. We would have a picture for you but as Brian and I were flying tip to tip, him with a camera and me with a smile, suddenly two AA batteries jettesoned and we were laughing out loud. Several people landed not feeling good as it was a bit textured on the way out. I am ready for the cloud streets to come. Bring it on! | |||

| Awesome after work flight. Arrived to find perfect west conditions. flew the Batcaves/Larabee/launch triangle twice and watched the sunset over the oysterdome with a peregrine falcon. Over flew the driveway and landed in the biggest puddle of all. Still a bit dazed from wangin' it to the deck. | |||

| lots of pilots showed up for a weird dog day......ridge lift never really kicked in but light bubbly thermal kept us going all day.....i don't think anyone actually sunk out......almost no wind on launch or the lz.......yet soar we did....with five pilots thermallingl left in one bubble and five pilots thermallin right in another bubble.......as the two bubbles began to come together it got pretty exciting and we probably looked like a giant eggbeater........I for one, was pretty whipped when I landed;-) the next day most folks towed......but davo, terri crippen and I headed up dog and took off in no wind ....I really thought we were going for a sledder..... I sunk all the way to the lower trees........hit light lift......gradually worked back up to launch.......still hardly any wind..........amazing......I got an hour | |||

| Launched the south side and went porpoising right up at the "nose" between w and s launch. Main cloudbase was at appx 2600 and Conrad and I played in it above a lower layer that was hugging the hill. Lots of eagles and spectacular visuals. It turned north and we landed to he north, short but sweet! | |||

| it was a doo-dah launch ramp with no wind lines on the lake.....Davo's impatiance actually paid off this time as he launched in zero wind and dug a thermal out of the pocket half way down dog and corkscrewed his way up past launch while some of the rest of us were scrambling into our harnesses......way to go Davo!!!! I went out to join Davo and didn't stop till I hit cloudbase......then I flew over to panarama and hit cloudbase again......then I flew back to dog by way way of peterman......got high again at Dog and flew over to elk..........froze my ass off but had a good time.............. | |||
