Bright Open 2010
The front arrived yesterday, with our guest! – Incredible the timing of things, firstly the faithful obedience of it arriving in 24 hrs, and secondly the fact that our guest coincided perfectly with the rain! Still no problems, there’s always ground work to do, and it all adds to the improvement of in air experience. This front is supposed to hang around for a couple of days and then improve, what the post frontal conditions are going to be like will be interesting…. Am not surprised by the intensity of it, as the early confrontation of it’s imminent arrival at Plaine Joux suggested a front of some effrontary! The precipitation is pretty relentless, rain down here and snow up high. They are forecasting the snow level to drop to 2000 mtrs. Which in the great order of things isn’t particularly low, the temperatures are quite warm considering. Down here in the lower valley the rain is solid, and thunder is expected this evening.
The snow is poor at the moment, wet, heavy, slushy and not particularly nice. Any decent skiing to be had now will be at high altitude. We don’t know if the skiing is all but over, as from past experience the snow has been known to return with a vengeance, around Easter time, so who knows?
Anyway, back to the flying… our friend down in Aus land, has just completed two comps. The Bright Open and the Carryong Cup, and he’s given us a run down on the experience and tasks. Apparently it was an all round excellent couple of weeks.
Here are the results Bright Open and the Ozone Carryong Cup
