Default XCSkies Unavailable??

XCSkies is working here in New Mexico. Of course the top of the lift is
shown as between the surface and 1,000' AGL and, with visibility less
than 1/2 mile in freezing fog where I live, I expect the top of the lift
is closer to 0' AGL...

I flew my Pipistrel Sinus yesterday and it was completely smooth from
the surface (6,200' MSL) to 11,500' MSL.

Brendon, if you try to contact Chris Galli about this, it's going to be a waste of time.
XC Skies New South Wales forecasts are still the crap they were a year ago. N/S and E/W lines 100km in length zig-zagging across NSW with ~2000' differences in "top of usable lift" and ~3Kt difference in "updraft velocity" along them.
There has been no response to any attempted contact. He's evidently not interested.
