Pulpit Thursday / Friday?

Post by sight »

Hello,

I am a new member to CHGPA this year, I have my P3 and am a sound pilot.
I have yet to make it to the Pulpit and was wondering if anyone would be around to show me the ropes and soar the skies with me this Thursday / Friday. Obviously weather dependent but so far the forecasts are looking pretty good. XCskies is showing winds WNW with good XC potential both days.

Welcome, Jacob. The Pulpit is a great NW site.

I'm available on Friday but I'm seeing NE and SE winds forecasted for Thursday/Friday by Wunderground and NOAA.

Hi Jacob. Bills Hill is a good East facing site and close to the Pulpit with good XC potential due to open airspace to the west. Let's watch the forecasts...

Jesse,

I also see what you reported about the weather from Wunder and NOAA.
I just took a quick glance and XCskies again and they have their hearts set on it being WNW, but I guess only time will tell.

If it does in fact blow east maybe Bills?
