PREMIUM WINTER CONDITIONS: GOLDEN BALL ❄️
Does life get any better than this? Maybe only if we could hit "replay"! 🪂✨
This weekend, Golden Ball delivered in a big way. We had an epic soaring session—glassy smooth lift, crisp winter air, and views that were a solid 10/10! Nothing recharges the batteries in the middle of winter like seeing the world from this perspective. 🏔️
Huge shoutout to Marcin, who showed us all how it’s done. Great style in the air is one thing, but that spot landing right next to the car? Now that is what I call elite logistics and precision! 🎯🚗 Anyone who’s ever had to trudge through waist-deep mud or snow with a glider on their back knows that a "top landing" at the car tastes better than a hot toddy after a cold flight.
🛡️ STAYING SHARP IN THE COLD
Winter flying has a unique vibe, but it also demands cold blood and disciplined procedures. Remember:
Check those lines: Frost or moisture can change your wing’s behavior.
The "Geordie" Rule: Even if your fingers are freezing, never rush your harness checks. Leg straps FIRST!
Thanks for the great flight, Marcin! 👊
How about you guys? Did anyone else catch the weather window this weekend, or are you all hibernating until the spring thermals kick in? Let me know in the comments! 👇
