Comments
Good summer wind: South, South-Southeast. Wind speed: base 4–5 m/s, gusts 7–9 m/s. The slope is flyable year-round, though it can get uncomfortable in mid-summer due to the intense heat. Due to the counter-ridge formed by the village of Novaya Malovata, a stable ridge lift will not form if the wind is any weaker.
