Here is a soaring video which shows something a little different, which might interest you and your readers—wave soaring from a frozen lake in the Norwegian mountains! This is from the 2013 Vågå wavecamp which was held this week (http://www.wavecamp.no/). Even if spring is approaching fast, isn’t it interesting to see that great flights can be had in winter, even in the far north of Norway? :-)”

by Bill Elliott •
October 14th 2012. Shot with an iPhone 5 and various portable and SLR cameras by Sean and Tiffany Fidler. Eagle Field is on the top of Bald Eagle Ridge at a private residence just west of State College, Pennsylvania. It is one of the most beautiful locations I have had the pleasure of visiting. Thanks…
[Video] Seaside Soaring
by Bill Elliott •
“Finally a day with a good southerly wind and a dry airmass instead of the usual grot associated with this wind direction. 5 DSGC gliders braved the rough aero-tows down to the Sidmouth cliffs, where fun was had on an epic scale. The walkers on the cliff tops seemed to enjoy the show and hopefully a few might risk a trip to our club to try gliding themselves. There was even wave off the cliffs which allowed all of us to climb high enough to easily glide back home. A fantastic days flying!”

The Soaring Society of Boulder has enjoyed some recent excellent media coverage. Earlier this month we were featured in the Denver Post. This article was then picked up by the AOPA. This week our community web TV channel, The Boulder Edge, released a video, which presents a positive view of our organization and what we do.
