2.5 hrs snow flght at Clffside (near Rufus, OR) 12/13/16

Once again another fun snow flight at Cliffside today. Mark R (Hang pilot)  didn't show up, so l was the only hang glider flying along with a dozen paragliders.  l launched at 12:15pm with 3-6mph light winds right after couple paragliders. We all climbed above launch immediately. It was very cold (25F) with cloudy skies and very buoyant air. Lifts was abundant and easy to stay in but nobody was able to bench up to the windmills.  Cloudbase is around 3000ft so some of the windmills were in the thin clouds.  I flew for 2.5hrs, gaining between 300 to 500ft  (reached 600ft few times) over the launch and landed by the river at 2:40pm in butterly smooth air. Wished more hang pilots could've been there today.  I'll post video and more photos later.
