Arosa -'Novemberhoch'

Also for the next 2 weeks, the high pressure has been dominating, at least on the weekends, when the cable car in Arosa has been running.

Pano on Weisshorn looking NE
Sat, 9.11. A flight to Chur with some weak thermals at the Weisshorn. In Chur (again) rather windy (20/ g27).


Sun, 10.11. flyable, but I had problems launching (the last attempt resulted in a big 'line mess'); in addition, after having watched 2 'not so nice' launches, I decided not to fly...

...it took quite some time to untangle this mess - not as easy and quick as some youtube videos make you believe.
- thank you Andy for your help!
the bears at the bear sanctuary also seemed to enjoy the nice conditions
Sat, 16.11. First flight to Arosa, landing in Isla. Surprisingly good thermal above Tschuggen, which allowed for an altitude gain of about 250m :-)

some slopes already being prepared for winter..
'Miramunt'
Second flight to Chur in rather strange conditions. Until about 200m/ gnd there has been a pronoinced valley wind (around 20+kmh); but the wind turbine at Trimmis was turning only very slowly and as I got  closer to landing, it actually stopped and was slowly turning to indicate SW-Wind...

coming back from Chur: full moon over 'Obersee' in Arosa

Sun, 17.11. I've been on the Weisshorn, but didn't like the wind, so I didn't fly...
