I cannot think of any good reason to intentally fly IMC in a glider.
Can you?


I'd love the ability to cross large blue areas, and I know it would be
glorious to pop out the side of a towering cumulus at 20,000 and glide
through the cloud canyons. I've had a similar experience a couple times,
descending from a wave flights.
