Ridge Soaring Clinic

Ridge Soaring in steady winds is an easy and enjoyable way to get lots of airtime. Howerver it presents additonal dangers if one gets blown behind the ridge into rotor turbulance. Parasoft offers training to avoid these dangers. We also teach you advanced skills like top landing and strong wind launch techniques.

 We do our ridge soaring clinic at Otto' Ridge where the the flying is great.  
 
Getting airtime easily
  
We go to Grand Junction for our ridge soaring clinic where 2 great sites are nearby. We use the morning sun to soar the east facing Otto's Ridge and sunset for the westerly facing Reeder Mesa. If we have time in between we scooter tow near Otto's ridge. On the 2008 trip, participants accumulated over 18 hours of airtime and 24 top landings----exactly our goal---lots of airtime and many top landings. P2 Jeff lead with over 5 hours airtime and 8 top landings in 3 days!
