Scuol - mit Peter W (Leeloo SM)

PeterW with his newly aquired Leeloo SM

Saturday: day trip to Scuol (Motta Naluns) with my friend PeterW; we met at Schiers, where I had parked my car and then rode the train to Scuol. On launch me met some other 'Arosa pilots (Marlies and PeterN): that made 4 Leeloos on TO :-)  This was the first day the gondola in Scuol has been  running after the maintenance break, so quite a number of pilots have taken advantage of an easily reachable launch.

Pano NE to SW at ca 3000m

Cloudbase in the beginning has been rather low, so only the 'eager' xc-cracks have launched early. But (as forecast), base rose steadily (my Hmax: 3450m). The N-/NE-wind (Bise) could be felt throughout the whole flight, which resulted (for me) in a not too long flight without venturing too far from Scuol; landing after 1.25h at the Eastern LZ. 

Scuol: Eastern LZ (long, light green field)

According to XContest, quite a number of pilots have made long flights here that day.
