Default Tennessee ridge soaring - how often?

Both of you please give me a call: (423) 506-9015. I would love the
opportunity to brag about what a great place East Tennessee is for
soaring. As for frequency of ridge days, it really depends on the
month, and the particular year, etc. Often in the transitional months
the weather patterns will set up such that we have cold front passage
about every 7-10 days. Not always do the post frontal days fall on the
weekend, and not always are they flyable, however we do have plenty of
flying opportunities year round. Chilhowee is conveniently located to
both a local, 17 mile long ridge and the well known Sequatchie Valley.
There is an annual Sequatchie Valley Ridge Badge and Record Camp; the
rest of the time a Chilhowee towplane is available upon request.

Jim, we run year round training at Chilhowee, located near Benton, TN.
I believe that you will be happy with the various courses of training
available, and all of us at Chilhowee Gliderport would be happy to
have you join our group.
