What a way to soar. Great stuff.

I have never flown in the mountains, but how do you know where the
down drafts might be?

first, you read all the books. Then you go out and fly a lot! Or,
just jump on a plane and come fly with me and I'll show you. If
anybody is actually interested in wave soaring, I highly recommend
registering and taking the mountain wave course here:

You've heard of a video going viral? Well, my video is not doing that
well. It's going fungal. 250 views in a little less than a day.

Actually, we prefer not to fly IN to mountains. It works better to
fly over or around them. :)

Where are the downdrafts? Let us know if you find an answer.

They are right there next to the updrafts?

We've got FIVE volcanic peaks that we regularly see and soar around
and a few more just out of range.

The two climbers seen at 0:45, 1:50, 3:40, 5:40, 6:50, 8:30 & 9:45 are
descending what's called the old chute. My sister and I were up there
this weekend.
I am surprised to see them there so late in the day. Common practice
on Hood is to get off the steep ice before the sun starts to soften
it.
