Another vote for Ridge Soaring. Tom & Doris are warm and welcoming, the
bunkhouse atmosphere fun and being a commercial operation, the availability
of tows is excellent.

Ridge running guidance: mufflin.ridgesewing.com. Click on the 'Ridge
Running' link. This guidance is aimed at visiting competition pilots but
there's much benefit to be gained for a newbie.

Good luck and hope to see you there.

I'm interested in doing some ridge flights in the Northeast US at various
sites like Blairstown, Wurtsboro, Springfield etc... while bringing
fellow club members along to share the new experiences. Can anyone point
us to specific information and resources for the different sites? I've
been able to locate a few general briefings for Ridge Soaring and some
older info in ACA's Blue Fly series but would like to get some more
recent information about the current tow operators, suggestions for
Silver, Gold, and Diamond distance tasks, recent land out area info and
basically anything that will help some newbies get on the ridges safely.
Any help with upwind ridge transitions and the best places and techniques
to make the transitions would be appreciated too. Thanks in advance.
