Back in the "Good Olde Days", we used to fly nearly every Jan 1st in southern Michigan, frequently with plenty of snow on the ground, and sometimes in the air. Does anybody still do this? It only counts if it's difficult! Floridians need not apply.


LVVSA does! *It was chilly (by Las Vegas standards) but not
'difficult'. *All sled rides all day (10 tows), though there was a
rumor of some slight ridge 'not-sink'!


we flew at Mountain Valley Airport in Tehachapi CA. Many of us flew
open an open cockpit 1-26 for our annual Polar Bear Glide.
