Ozone Chabre open results The Ozone Chabre open came a close at the weekend and perhaps fittingly it was the American pilots who triumphed, just before the July 4th celebrations. David Gridley (USA), Mark Graham, (USA) and Nick Giguere (USA) were first, second and third respectively in the open-class event. First female pilot went to another American, Chelsea Mckenzie.… https://xcmag.com/news/comps-and-events/ozone-chabre-open-results/

Weather: Making the most of the apps Forecasting location-specific soaring parameters in the European Alps is challenging due to the nature of the topography. Steep slopes and deep valleys are still not fully resolved by the numerical forecast models. Neither are micrometeorological features such as thermals. Statistical or AI adjustments can only help to a limited extent. It is therefore important to… https://xcmag.com/fly-better/weather/weather-making-the-most-of-the-apps/

Destination: Soča Valley Picture the perfect terrain for paragliding and it’s quite possible you’ll end up somewhere that looks a lot like Slovenia’s Julian Alps. Mountainous – but not too forbidding – with grassy and well-maintained launches, ridgelines that stretch towards Italy’s Dolomites and beyond, wide valleys for easy landings and retrieves. Add reasonably priced accommodation and food,… https://xcmag.com/travel-guide/may-june/destination-soca-valley/

Mont Blanc 4,808m An autumn day with a nice weather window, a free weekend, and an idea that suddenly felt obvious: “Let’s try to hike-and-fly Mont Blanc?” It was one of those super calm autumn days, with absolutely no wind forecast up to 6,000m, with just a little instability layer from 3,800m to 4,900m.
