Doesn't a place called "Ridge Soaring" in Julian, PA have tows? How do the "Irregulars" get into the air? With a name like that, is their best lift from a ridge? Is it nearby? Has anyone ever flown a fast or long distance out of there?



Ridge Soaring usually stops ops when the weather turns bad (late Nov-mid Dec?)and re-opens in March. But when the weather is right, extremely long flights are possible. This is the premier soaring location in the east. Its world famous for a reason.
