Three hangs (Chi Tang , Shahrokh Kazemhad) had a sledder, all landed by the river. The winds never blow more than 3 mph at the 1,200 ft upper launch. Zero wind at the LZ all day. Clouds ceiling was about 1,600ft (few hundred feet below the windmills). Two pgs came didn't fly and left. Looking forward for more sled rides tomorrow and Sunday.

A great day at Cliffside . l took off into a buoyant air at 1pm (Approx 5-8mph at the 1,200 ft upper launch) right after few paragliders. It was very cold (around 25°F at 2,000ft) so l flew for one hour and 45 min Maximum altitude 2,000ft right below the cloudbase. Lifts were much stronger when l reached 1,700ft pass the aluminum plant. Winds direction was more south today therefore the whole ridge was working really well. There were 5 hangs (Chi T, Shah K from Seattle, Mark R, Rob S and myself) and dozen paragliders came out to play. Congrats to Chi and Shah getting their first soaring flight at Cliffside.
