Plummet!

Yesterday afternoon Sandia showed us that she still has a few tricks up her sleeve. Despite the fact that there was almost no wind, there was strong sink and random turbulence the whole way out to Tower 2. Three out of four (me, Paul and Al) of us wound up too low to even glide out to Big Sky and had to settle for a landing at the Tennis Courts LZ. Bill Lemon was the last one off and he flew a better line across the canyon and had just enough altitude to scratch around the T2 ridge till sunset. Here's a picture of Paul Briggs patiently waiting for the tram to begin boarding; he thinks he's about to get a glass-off flight.
