Competition News

Sorry for the delay, but the decision is very, very difficult.

Saturday:
We expect clouds covering from the west. At noon the bernese alps are probably almost totally covered. Probably it is possible to fly 1 or 2 hours thermal conditions (11-13 h?). The best place would be "Innerschweiz".

Sunday:
The latest reports show a little bit better as you see in the normal weather reports. Iner-alpine areas will be better, probably it is best at Crans Montana. But whatch the westerly winds before you travel there. Maybe Lenk-Adelboden will be good after 14 hours.

At both days we have a very low pressure (1004 / 1002). This is a bad sign for a task as well.

I called different pilots and opinion leaders. All opinions together in short:
- Saturday only small chance for a task in Zentralschweiz
- Sunday:
- if we would have to decide now: Cancel
- we don't like to wait until tomorrow for a decision
- It is the first weekend of the year

Ok, thats it: The weekend is canceled, even knowing, that somewhere it will be flyable...

I hope you understand and support this decision. Its not easy with the weather.

Hope to see you soon. Martin
