Boulder has the best access to lift of any site on the Front
Range. See
Kevin Cousineaus's article
in the March 2004 issue of Soaring magazine about Mile High Gliding and
Soaring in the Boulder area. Also take a look at
Bob Whelan's article
in the January 1998 issue of Soaring magazine. Thermals can go to
18,000', Wave to 30,000' (in FAA Window). Convergence and Ridge
currents abound West of the field in the foothills starting just 4
miles away. Between Feb 1 and Jul 31, however, a local bird protection
group asks that pilots limit their ridge soaring of the East faces of
the Flatirons.
