another day at base

Meredyth, Rinker and I the only ones on launch today. Light South wind blowing up the hill with decreasing clouds. Still there was a squall line to the South about 10km from Tiger.We launched into light lift and then slowly worked our way up to cloudbase but it was very dark and cold there. The cloud we were under kept going up so we pointed it downwind on bar to escape since there are lots of emblazoned stories of cloud suck dramas lately on my brain. I passed over the Tower at base around 4500' and saw a hole and Mt Si in the sun to the East but the clouds were lower than me. Rinker and I ended up on glide to the lake but not much happening, we landed shortly after at the Park and Ride and had a nice hot Cappuccino. Mer landed safely and came to pick us up shortly after.
Tiger feels like a whole new site with the cold air and terrain we havent flown around in awhile except for the sledders this winter that are the norm.
Out.

Love the photo albums. Maybe soon I'll be ready to leave the comfort of the hill.
