MInden is a nice soaring location, but a little too remote/small for living there.


What?! "remote/small"?

If one is looking for big city ambiance, Minden for sure is not that, though I wouldn't consider it remote or small. Guess it depends what one is after. A lot of glider pilots do retire to the Minden / Carson Valley area. Spectacularly beautiful, great quality of life, and great soaring.

There's a lot of open space, and "city" is close enough. I live 15 miles south of Carson City, 40 miles south of Reno, a few miles east of S. Lake Tahoe, and 9 miles from Minden airport.
