Got a ride up to Crestline thanks to Sandy bringing up an even mix of HG and PG. I launched 2nd around 1:40 pm and flew for 2.7 hours. But what made the flight was the generous (and smoother than usual) lift up to cloudbase at 7k, where wind was very light around 6 mph from the South. Max altitude I saw was 7.5 k behind Crestline where we could explore much further back the plateau than usual while cruising around in the widespread lift. I went back and forth between Pine and Crestline 4 times. Warm too, what a treat !
On glide from Pine to Crestline while scraping cloudbase…
Looking towards Cajon Pass from Pine Mtn…
Behind Crestline and looking at Lake Silverwood. Owen will easily spot the other PG pilot in this one…
Second all of the above – day did not disappoint, especially in the dead of winter. I chose to be the wind dummy and launched first from Crestline. Max was 7100’ (behind Crestline and later in the day), and flew for just over 2.5 hours. There was a party at Billboard late in the day with several pilots boating around in the abundant lift.
