Default Fall Instructor & Glider-port Recommendation

Hello again,

I am hoping to wrap up my private pilot glider certification this year in late October or November.
I fly out of Colorado and there will be snow on the ground in early October.
I am soloing and hope to have 10 to 15 hours of additional flight time through September & early October.

My club flys off a winch on a Blanik LS-23, so I’m looking for:

- Tow instruction (I have had none)

- A talented and kick ass instructor

- Instruction in a higher performance 2 seater glass ship

- A location with the opportunity to complete the flight exam with a CFI check-ride instructor onsite.

It would also be great to be able to take the written test at the same location, but I could take care of that ahead of time in Colorado.
I plan on taking off 7 to 9 days to pursue this goal and am willing to travel anywhere in the US.

I would be grateful for personal recommendations from pilots with excellent experiences with specific Flight Instructors, as I feel I lucked out with my CFI and hope to repeat the experience.

If your looking for a CFI in Colorado I have THE guy!

Thank you in advance for any and all reply’s!
