Default Landing on snow-covered grass

Gail taught gliderguiders for several years out of Sylvania ... if you think
it is short in Assless, try it behind a Super Cub with a runout engine
towing a thousand pounds of glider {;-)

I utiliized the
"Sylvania Swing" (accelerating *away* from the direction of departure
and swinging it around while applying full throttle -- a short-field
technique that we learned at Sylvania Field in Wisconsin that can buy
you an extra several hundred feet of runway)
