Typically early March is windy in Phoenix and starting to be consistent late March gets better and top of lift starts to climb to 6-8 k agl. Some wave conditions on the Estrella mtns and the only ones close enough to be towable to from Estrella sailport in Maricopa Az. The other areas in AZ are El Tiro in Tucson, Pleasant Valley apt just north of Phoenix and AC Goodwin Memorial in Prescott Valley home to Prescott Soaring Society where we winch only. I did my first attempt at my 5 hour in Feb at Pleasant Valley to be shot down 15 min short due to storms then got it a month later in late March. May and June are our best months but is soarable from March thru October almost every day at least for a few hours I averaged 300 hrs a year for 15 years so there's got to be lift somewhere )
