My info is second hand, so I won't comment on the details. I will say
that the terrain around the reservoir is steep, rocky, and heavily
wooded. Storms in this area build and intensify very fast. Most of us
have had our run-ins with them. Unfortunately, bad outcome for a nice
glider, but good choice for the pilot IMHO.
I'm glad he's O.K. Nice guy and a good instructor.
