Lake Placid - Thursday

The day wasn't as strong as Wednesday, but flights of 3 hours, topped about 5,800' ASL (Lake Placid is 1,745' ASL) were normal.  It started with a few Cu, but turned blue.  Most gliders have FLARM, and anyone with a good climb pretty quickly had a lot of company...

Two photos of my flight, one looking east at the Sentinel range, the other, over Lake Placid, looking out towards the north. You can see a strong inversion.

Today should be similar to yesterday, and we continue preparation for high altitude flights with oxygen fills. Saturday looks rainy, and is the front that should change the pattern to winter (and better wave possibilities).  Highs have been 75F/23C - very nice - but the low on Sunday is -2C.
