strange ... (Arosa 25.4.2011)

Easter monday, the last day of this year's skiing season in Arosa and thus the last day the cablecar to the 'Weisshorn' was running before resuming service on June 18th.



There were a few pilots at launch and everyone of them had made the same strange experience on their first flight of the day: SINK (> 3.5m/s), wherever you went and wherever there is normally lift...


Medergen



over 'Medergen'; looking to 'Mattlishorn'

I finally managed to find some lift at the 'Schafrügg' and could fly for 1.3hrs.
On the way back from 'Langwies' to the 'Weisshorn' the same experience again: SINK so strong, that I didn't even reach the planned LZ on the golfcourse. Instead I had to land at 'Prätschli'...

The snow has barely gone and already the alpine flowers start blooming...
