Event Name: 
Défi distance Willi Cross-country Challenge

The National paragliding won't be interfering with the Willi 2009 after all. So the Willi 2009 dates will be held Jul 24 evening to August 2 evening as was previously discussed. These dates will hopefully be kept for all future years.
Le national parapente n'interferera pas avec le Willi 2009 après tout. Le Willi 2009 se tiendra donc du soir du 24 juillet au soir du 2 août comme il fut discuté précédemment. Ces dates resteront, espérons-le, pour les années futures.

Mt. 7 road name changed

Hello All,

We have been lobbying to the BC Forest Service for a name change on the road beginning in the spring. The idea was to honor the one person who was reponsible for having the current road put in place.

Prior to this new road, which can allow most any vehicle access to the Lookout Launch, there was a narrow, steep 4x4 track which made the drive up scarier than the flights.

High hopes.

The forecast looked good for today. High of 31 and light winds out of the north west. The soaring forecast looked good with cloud base at 14,000’ and lift at 700 – 800’/min. Some model’s calling for stronger winds some calling for moderate winds out of the NW.
