For USA location, you could look into the following:

Bermuda High Soaring in South Carolina.
Seminole Lake in Florida.
Miami Gliders(?)
Marfa, Texas.
Turf Soaring in Arizona.
Estrella in Arizona.

And probably others, such as in southern California.

But, of course, somewhere in Australia, New Zealand,
or South Africa during the winter time in the Northern
Hemisphere would be great, I assume!

Hello,

I'm new to this group so maybe this topic has been
covered before, but
I thought I would ask:

I have taken 7 or 8 lessons scattered over the last
5 years but I just
haven't been able to dedicate the time yet to complete
my glider
rating. I've also spent a fair amount of time soaring
with a friend in
his glider a few years ago but I just haven't completed
my training.
I have many competing interests, but I'd like to re-focus.
I'd like
to take a week of vacation this Winter and focus my
time at a soaring
center in the US to work on my glider rating. Any
recommendations on
where to go? I have mainly spent my time the last
few years flying
3-axis hang gliders (Swift and a Millennium). I'd
like to finish up
my glider rating as well and I'm looking for a place
to travel to this
Winter to help move things forward.

Thanks in advance for the help.
