Default Soaring on a terraformed Mars - winter diversions

OK, it's cold outside in Earth's northern hemisphere and here's something
topical.

What do you think the soaring possibilities would be on a terraformed Mars
with an atmosphere as dense as Earth's?

For one thing, your compass wouldn't work - there's no magnetic field. The
Sun's heating would be much less but the gravity is only one third that of
Earth. Maybe a hang glider that folds into a backpack?

Speculation, Mr. Spock?
