Thanks, didn't realise that there was an off season.
Once drove from California to Julian in November: 3 days in the same cold front.
The flight the next day had some interesting sections due to the down side of the wave hitting the ridge. Keeps your attention!
Then went to Blairstown and if declared would have beat the STD 300k O/R state speed record then held by "The Scoundrel".
Not bad for a commute to work.

Would Benton, TN be less snowy in Winter?
Perhaps there's a gliderport near the other half of the same ridge system in N Africa.

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.
