Spectacular Sunday at the Big M!

Mirko writes: This WAS one of the best days we ever had on any slope! It was no effort to climb out to 1000 ft at anytime of the day. Steady 25-30 mph winds, with over twenty different planes flying. Two different Compact Wizard 2X, four different Pixels, an Ellipse 3 CAM, Extreme, Psycho, Jedi, Hornisse, Fitness, and various trashy foamies. There were only three of us: Greg, Ken Nelson and myself. This was Ken’s first time ever to the Mound: he was just thrilled with the great conditions.

With all the dry, unplanted dark ground in front of the Mound, super strong thermals were constantly blowing through the lift zone, which allowed straight out, forward flight to huge altitudes all day. Very pleasant 70 F all day, with no clouds, until about 7:00 PM. This was the dream come true slope day. Best of all, no crashes or even, bad landings. The Wizards, Ellipse, Psycho, Jedi, and of course, the Pixels all were screaming like banshees.

Greg says: What a day! I have a new toy and it is not a plane. Have a look at the pix and you will see what it is!
