Other Slopes
We're collecting a list of descriptions of slope soaring sites, and so far we've got an
interesting set below. Please send us a description of your favorite (or least favorite!)
sites that we can add (click here to send mail to
webmaster "at" charlesriverrc.org). So far, this area is organized alphabetically by state,
with a set of slope descriptions on each state page. "May the
wind be with you"!
Aruba(!)
Australia(!)
California Slopes
Maine Slopes
Massachusetts Slopes
Maui Slopes (link to the
Soar Maui site maintained by Duane A. K. Asami - who invites you to write if you're ever
in the neighborhood!)
New Hampshire Slopes
Pennsylvania Slopes
Virginia Slopes
(link to the "Blue Ridge Slope Sites page" with a great contour map)
If you know of a good slope site, fellow fliers are always
interested to hear about the following:
| Site Name |
Is AMA membership required? |
What is the landing zone like? |
| Driving directions? |
Best wind direction? |
Any safety issues? |
| How to get in, and to the flying site (if not
blatantly obvious from the end of the driving directions)? |
Typical wind conditions
(direction and speed range), if known? |
Other problems if any? |
| Who owns the site? |
Height of the slope (a guess is fine)? |
