But you were not talking about getting a BFR, you were talking about
getting an Additional Rating instead of a BFR.

Look up FAR61.109 and see what is required for the add on rating. A week
is in your words, "a few intense days", plus factor wind/weather problems
/ delays.

Many people can do it in a week, many active pilots cannot. Can you fly
formation (tow), can you consistently hit your landing mark without adding
power (you are a glider now). To do it in a week you will be flying many
times every day, and when you are not flying you better have your nose in
a book.

There is some place closer, with bunking facilities, go ask them if they
think a "one week to a glider rating" is worth anything. It's just up the
road in Williams.

I'm thinking about getting a glider rating for my BFR this summer. I
talked with one place in Truckee but was told it would take an entire
week to do.
Are there any places to do this that specalize in BFRs such that you
can fly much more per day in order to be done in a few intense days? I
just can't justify being away for an entire week for a BFR.
