Boulder Colorado Wave Forecast?
Hi,
A good friend of mine has invited me to join him at Mile High Gliding in Boulder, CO for about 3 days if the forecast looks good for wave. If the forecast is good I'll fly out sometime between Sunday and Tuesday evening for 3 days of soaring. Can anyone in that region give me their best forecast as to when the wave is most likely? I really want to get my Gold and Diamond altitude badges but I can only afford about 3 days out of the office as I'm busy getting ready for the SSA Convention. My friend arrives on Saturday and will call me to give me his best guess on when to join him - based on feedback from those at the gliderport. He will be there through Friday. I guess my question is: Should I go during the early part of the week, or the later part of the week, or does the weather look bad for the entire week? I'd rather not take the time out of the office if the outlook is poor. I've done very little wave flying. What weather systems do you look for? Here in Minnesota the cumulus soaring is great a day or 2 after a cold front comes through, but I imagine you are looking for high winds and stable air. Of course, I know that it is impossible to predict the wave accurately - any advice would be appreciated. Good Soaring, Paul Remde Cumulus Soaring, Inc. http://www.cumulus-soaring.com |
