My last flight of 2017 ended at Cliffside with about 20 PG pilots and one hang (Neil C). I landed at 4:50 pm (10 min before sunset). 1st flight: 30 min , 2nd flight : almost 2 hours from 3 to 4:50 pm. No traffic issues, as there was plenty of wide open lifts for everyone to enjoy. Thermals were more active in the morning (while I was hiking up) than in the afternoon, but did turned back on again around 2:30 pm. It was easy to stay a few hundred feet above launch after 3pm. Air temperature was around 25-28F (-4 to -2 C). Thanks again to Nat for the ride up to launch for my second flight. Happy New Year, everyone!
