As a glider pilot I must admit there's nothing like it
Lack of time and money has precluded me from it in the past couple of years and I miss it dammit.
Mostly flew out of Hope through VSA, but have been to Pemberton for a few away trips. Is Rudy still running things over there ?
Another great destination if you're ever passing through is Invermere. Located right between the Rocky and Purcell mountain ranges so just pick a direction
And extremely predicatable weather. I spent 6 weeks there one summer never varied one day. Not a cloud in the sky first thing in the morming, followed by nice little cumulus clouds marking every thermal by mid morning, increasing in intensity througout the day, eventually turning into cumulonimbus by sundown. Followed by intense thunderstorms at night. Every day. Damn I want to live there :laugh:
