The Provincials are a great opportunity for experienced contest pilots to be challenged and new cross-country pilots to get experience in a relaxed, fun environment.
The contest will reunite the racing family and introduce fledgling race pilots and their crews into the fold. We plan to run two classes: 1) Club for those wishing to push their skills and gliders (handicapped); and 2) Novice, to introduce pilots to new competition flying or with classic performance gliders (also handicapped).

May be best chance of soaring this weekend (Sat may be OK as well)
Look for an update at 10:30am (here or at XC Skies), I am betting the forecast will improve (lift wise). A bit breezy but if the lift is better, it'll be easier to stay up.
Another promising forecast gone down the toilet! I have no idea on what makes these forecasts different...all I know (or think I know) is that the RUC forecast is the most accurate...I suppose that is why they only publish it the morning-of.
I used the NAM forecast model last night...and compare the b/s ratio here of the NAM (left) vs the RUC (right) from this morning:
