March can be the best flying month of the ski season as thermal activity finally starts in earnest. Come see us for a flight! We are operational every day until the end of the ski season in mid-April. Flights will resume again most likely in early June when we can then again access the top of the mountain. Between that time we should be attending the <a href="http://ghanapgfestival.blogspot.com/">Ghana Paragliding Festival</a>, etc.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6694752668998788170-4093884728972910059?l=flysunvalley.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Chucknoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6694752668998788170.post-78052733356799813972009-06-25T15:44:00.002-06:002009-06-25T15:49:56.547-06:00Finally, after weeks of rain we are up and flying from Bald Mountain. The <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">copious</span> amount of moisture has brought a level of green to this area we haven't seen in over 10 years. Very pretty, and the mountain flowers will be popping out any day now. Looks like a great flying season ahead!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6694752668998788170-7805273335679981397?l=flysunvalley.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Chucknoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6694752668998788170.post-72128769910419671942007-12-06T11:40:00.000-07:002007-12-06T12:05:55.097-07:00As of a few days ago, Bald Mountain/Sun Valley Resort access is open to the top which means the flying season has started. We are hoping for a good snowbase combined with sunny days and favorable winds. Gliders should be dotting the skies over Sun Valley until the winter ski season comes to a close in mid-April.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6694752668998788170-7212876991041967194?l=flysunvalley.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Chucknoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6694752668998788170.post-31179896972179640472007-06-16T16:40:00.000-06:002007-06-23T22:34:36.029-06:00After a long winter, we're happy to see the summer thermal season finally arrive.
