back to Arosa...

Webcam Friday at 0720

Friday: 'on paper' the day didn't look too bad: winds from the North, which would have permitted good launches. Instead the actual wind was from WNW to NNW - directions which make launching difficult/ impossible. 

...parawaiting...

After having waited for about 2 hours, the wind weakend a bit and launches became possible. I soared a bit in the northerly wind, but didn't really like the flying conditions and landed on the Golf course (Maran). Others (AndyS/ Bruno) found nice thermals and had good flights...

pix by Marlies - thanks!

Saturday: luckily today the wx was much according to the fcst ;-)  Just a little NE-wind for launch. Excellent conditions, permitting climbs to > 3100m (first time this year). The thermal at Seta (Langwies) has been strong, but -for once- not overly turbulent.

...unfortunately no pix from Seta, as the camera battery died (due to coldness)...

landing at LAW Mitte

I attempted a second flight, but (like another pilot) found nothing but sink, when all others stayed really high :-((

...where are the pilots...


Next 'stop': Stubaicup (11.- 13.3.)
