We base at Bishop and drive to the best sites for the day. Full transport and retrieve, oxygen recommended
Added bonus, Yosemite, eight wonder of the world is just 1h 30m drive away – not flyable but must be visited

what can we work on?
Minimising the impact of stress or anxiety to reduce distraction
The ability to launch in a variety of conditions, getting into the air when required.
The ability to locate, track and climb well in thermals both alone and in a large gaggle
The conscious decision to be more or less conservative based on observation and situations.
Confidence in your ability to make and execute decisions and in doing so perform well.
