We have done significant cross-country flights here in Arizona in every
month of the year, including over the Christmas and New Year holiday
period, although our regular season only really begins in late February
or early March. Southern California might be another good bet.

Check last year's OLC flights, they might give you some ideas.

OK, it's the time of year to talk about soaring instead of doing it
here in the Northeast, so I'll ask this question. If a person was just
bursting to go soaring this time of year or up to the early spring,
maybe get some XC or badge legs, where would be the ideal place to go?
If it's not all the way on the other side of the country, I could take
my Jantar, or I could rent a glider if it's too far. The chance to get
diamond altitude would be nice.

Thanks in advance for a lot of advice,
