Arosa

Webcam Weisshorn

The webcam at 0750 is showning a beautiful sunrise; so a sledder should be possible; Chur is still covered by clouds, which are supposed to break up later...
--------------------
The day turned out as 'promised', actually even less cold than I had anticipated. so for the first flight I was rather 'overdressed'  ;-)


1. flight: conditions on top/ at launch:absolutely no wind. Just a sledder to Arosa-Isla: no thermals at all, not even reduced sink as it was still too early.

Maran/ Golf: cross-country tracks

There is so much snow this year, that we've 'got' a new LZ ;-)

LZ Winter 2018/ 19
In order to dispose of the huge amounts of snow, it was dumped onto the lake, thus building a nice 'platform' near the train station we can now land on.

2.flight to Chur: a little West-wind on launch. On the way to Maladers reduced sink and above Maladers and also in Chur some weak thermals, allowing me to extend the flight beyond 30', which is rather unusual at this time of the year.

Chur, Sapünweg (?)
Tomorrow hopefully more of the same ;-)
