Comments
Contact locals for advice, a ride and/or good company. Midday thermals work year round but cloudbase is low with common afternoon OD & storms May - September. Starts to dry out in October, with strong thermals and XC possibilities best Nov - Feb. Inconsistent XC conditions. Late afternoon soaring is a good bet year-round.
