Today again we have no chance to fly a task. I took my glider up to take off
again and found more snow, it must be about half a meter now. More and more
pressure if we can fly at least tomorrow or not. We will hope and see.

Class 2 results:

The XCSkies forecast for Friday, the last day of the competition,
is for lift at 300-400 fpm, top of the lift 1000' to 2000' above the ground, 8
knot north northeast wind at 6,000', 90-100% high (non cumulus) cloud cover,
90-100% relative humidity, no chance of rain until after 5 PM, no cross country
potential.  A relatively good forecast compared to all the days before.

Saturday looks like a crackin' day with lift at 600-700 fpm, height of the lift
above ground 4000' to 5000'.

So will this competition for the class 5 and class 1 pilots be an unmitigated
disaster or one that is slightly mitigated?

You'll also notice that the only tasks that have been flown have been tasks that
involved being towed. Towing takes place at 2,400' not over 5,000' where the
foot launching takes place. The towed pilots get the advantage of flying when
there is a lower cloud base that prevents launching.

Towing, it's the real thing.
