During the winter season 'ABB' (Arosa BergBahnen -Arosa's Cablecars) offer once a month "full moon skiing" -conditions permitting.
We PG-Pilots use this opportunity for flying as well.
Last year the weather was unsuitable on all proposed dates and unfortunately the evenings had to be cancelled.
So this year -on the first possible occasion- 11 pilots took advantage of the good conditions.
Do not assume that we are doing something absolutely illegal: of course basically PG-flying is restricted to daylight only. But fortunately there is a gentleman's agreement with REGA (Swiss Air Rescue Guard): all pilots carry a light and we inform them of our intentions, time and route of flight.
