Die Verhältnisse schauten gut aus, aber der Seitenwind am Startplatz war manchmal grenzwertig stark und in der Luft gings ruppig hoch und runter. Der Task wurde schon bald nach window open gecancelt. Über 2000 waren die Verhältnisse top, und so flogen viele eine Weile herum, viele flogen sogar den Task und sprachen von guten Bedingungen.

We look forward to welcoming you to Lenzerheide soon. Please have a look at our website (link below), which comprises updated information on the event. Waypoint- and Airspace-files will follow. The landing site of the Swisscup Lenzerheide will be in Parpan, just next to the headquarters, which will be in the Bistro 1500 at the Heimberg-parking. The Bistro 1500 offers breakfast, snacks including sandwiches for the tasks, and will be the place of our grill-event Saturday evening. The Heimberg parking is an official bus-camping and the building of Bistro 1500 accordingly comprises toilets and showers. In order to approximately know how many buses (camper, no tents) will be at the camperspace and how many participants will be taking part in the grill party on Saturday, please reply before Friday 24th of May by filling out this doodle (link below). • Please select the nights you would like to spend on the camperspace. Registration is important in order for the campsite to organize the permission to host more busses than usual. The cost of the camping is 25.00CHF per night per bus plus 4.50CHF tourist tax per person and night. • In the same doodle, please indicate whether you are participating at the grill party. Vol Liber Grischun will sponsor the side dishes, Bistro 1500 offers softdrinks & broad collection of meat/sausages/veggies for 15CHF/person. Please fill out this checkbox for every participant, i.e. if e.g. two persons are staying in one bus, please fill out the doodle twice, whereof once only checking the grill party checkbox. For reasonably priced accommodation other than the camping, close-by options are Grischalodge, Stätzerhorn, Kiwi-Lodge, or Stätz-Damiez (a bit further away). There are of course numerous other accomodation options at Lenzerheide. We look forward to welcoming you at Lenzerheide!

Heute waren die Bedingungen noch besser als gestern - ein richtig guter Tag. Es wurde ein 111-km-Task zum Öschinensee - Meiringen - Morgenberghorn und zurück gesteckt. Die Pilot:innen hatten beim Hin- und Rückweg verschiedene Optionen, am schnellsten waren diejenigen, die ganz weit hinten in den Bergen flogen: Vom Schilthorn direkt zum Öschinensee wurde über das fast 2800m hohe Hohtürli geflogen. 1 44 Stephan Morgenthaler M CHE Ozone Enzo 3/Ozone Submarine 995.5 2 2 Baptiste Lambert M FRA Ozone Enzo 3/Ozone Submarine 992.6 3 1 Justin Puthod M FRA Niviuk Icepeak X-One/Ozone Submarine 990.6 4 28 Julien Wirtz M FRA Ozone Enzo 3/Ozone Submarine 985.8 5 311 Daniel Tyrkas M DEU Ozone Enzo 3/Ozone Submarine 984.5 6 242 Damien Lacaze M FRA Ozone Enzo 3/Ozone Submarine 982.5 7 4 Maxime Pinot M FRA Ozone Enzo 3/Ozone Submarine 980.6 8 211 Michel Cervellin M FRA Ozone Enzo 3/Ozone Submarine 980.0 9 24 Jonathan Marin M FRA Ozone Enzo 3/Ozone Submarine 979.8 10 225 Flavio Funiati M FRA Niviuk Icepeak X-One/Ozone Submarine 979.7 11 477 Christian Maurer M CHE Ozone Enzo 3/Advance Impress 4 979.5 28 64 Violeta Jimenez F USA Ozone Enzo 3/Ozone Submarine 873.1 32 61 Jenny O'Neil F USA Ozone Enzo 3/Ozone Submarine 857.2 93 22 Mathilde Chivet F FRA Ozone Zeno 2 AIRDESIGN CLUB SAINT HIL AIR 235.2

We are going to Grindelwald.

Pressure 1020 Generally good thermals. Along the prealps 2-4/8 with a base of 2400-2800 m, Grindelwald 1-2/8 with a base of 3200-3400 m.

Der heutige Task war länger :-) Start auf First - Männlichen - Gr Scheidegg - Adelboden - Blueme ob Thun - Morgenberghorn - Harder - Goal! Der Tag wurde wegen dem feuchten und etwas stabilisierenden Talwind schwieriger, als es in Grindelwald ausgesehen hat. Dort war das Steigen gratis, grossflächig und stark mit guten Cumuli auf 3200. Bei Schwalmere, Kiental und dann ab Frutigen war die Basis wesentlich tiefer, 2500 - 2800, und der Talwind recht stark. So wurde die Linienwahl schwierig und für diejenigen, die das Gebiet nicht kannten, anspruchsvoll. Auch waren an manchem Eck «Level 2»-Konditionen. Die Durchschnittsgeschwindigkeit war mit 28 km/h nicht sehr hoch. Chrigel wählte eine Route weit hinten in den Bergen, die meisten aber flogen die direkte Linie. In Adelboden war dann viel Schatten, wodurch einige Langsamere nicht weiter kamen. Auch war die ganze Niesenkette von NW angeströmt. Chrigel konnte auf der Luvseite viele Pilot:innen überholen, während die anderen auf der Südostseite zu kämpfen hatten. 1 28 Julien Wirtz M FRA Ozone Enzo 3/Ozone Submarine 988.8 2 477 Christian Maurer M CHE Ozone Enzo 3/Advance Impress 4 963.0 3 1111 Antoine Dubois-Mercé M FRA Ozone Enzo 3/Ozone Submarine 961.2 4 1 Justin Puthod M FRA Niviuk Icepeak X-One/Ozone Submarine 959.0 5 1761 Steve Cox M CHE Ozone Enzo 3/Ozone Submarine 948.8 6 44 Stephan Morgenthaler M CHE Ozone Enzo 3/Ozone Submarine 936.8 7 225 Flavio Funiati M FRA Niviuk Icepeak X-One/Ozone Submarine 936.0 8 4 Maxime Pinot M FRA Ozone Enzo 3/Ozone Submarine 917.7 9 10 Philipp Haag M DEU Ozone Enzo 3/Ozone Submarine 917 28 64 Violeta Jimenez F USA Ozone Enzo 3/Ozone Submarine 873.1 32 61 Jenny O'Neil F USA Ozone Enzo 3/Ozone Submarine 857.2 98 22 Mathilde Chivet F FRA Ozone Zeno 2/Kortel Design Kanibal Race 2 AIRDESIGN 214.3

While the air above around 3000 metres is dry and stably stratified under subsidence, there is still enough moisture in the unstable base layer to trigger cumulus clouds.

Die Bise mit relativ tiefer Basis hat die Möglichkeiten im Tasksetting eingeschränkt. So haben wir uns entschlossen, den Hardergrat nach Brienz und zurück abzufliegen. Im Pilotenjargon: Ridge Race. So war es dann auch. Nach dem Zick Zack zu Beginn konnten die Toppiloten 50km ohne einen einzigen Kreis gerade aus bolzen. Den Hardergrat nach Brienz und zurück und auch gleich noch den Därliggrat hoch und runter. Die Durchschnittsgeschwindigkeit war unglaubliche 36 kmh/Std. Schade nur, dass einige den Wildschutzzylinder «Adler» gestreift haben und grosse Penaltys erhielten.

9:35 (2 busses), 10:05, (10:35): Public Busses at Interlaken West to Beatenberg Waldegg. 11:15: Briefing at Hohwald-Parking Earliest possible start 12:30, Airstart 14:00 About the decision, not to go to Grindelwald: After a lot of research, we came to the conclusion that there is a 20% chance that we won't be able to take off in Grindelwald due to downwinds. This seems too high to me. Meteo ******** The Alpine region lies between an area of high pressure centred over the North Sea and an area of low pressure over the central Mediterranean region in a Bise current. With the increasing influence of high pressure, the air mass will dry out during the course of the day. On the northern side of the Alps, widespread high fog with a base of 1200-1600 metres and an upper limit around 2500 dropping to 2000. In the Alps mostly clear, but in the large Alpine valleys initially partly 4-6/8 with a base of 1500-2000 m, in the afternoon 3-5/8 flat Cu or Sc 1800-2300 m. (Gliding weather report) Interlaken in the afternoon: 2-4/8 at 1800 Moderate thermals Wind Ground: valley wind from the west, 10-20? kmh 1000m 10-15 kmh W (depends on the terrain) 1500m 5-10kmh N 2000m 10kmh NE 3000m 10kmh NE

Gemäss Prognosen sollte es schon am Vormittag trocken werden, und einige Modelle prognostizierten gute Aufhellungen ab 14 Uhr. So bewegte sich der Tross mit ÖV und Shuttlebussen zum Parkplatz Hohwald, wo das Briefing statt finden sollte. Ein provisorischer Task wurde publiziert. Aber es regnete. Nicht zu sehen auf dem Radar, nicht in den Modellen. Es regnete um 11, als wir hochfuhren, es regnete um 12, als das Briefing auf 13 Uhr verschoben wurde, und es regnete um 13 Uhr. Wir hätten nochmals um 1 Stunde verschieben können, aber es schien hoffnungslos: So wurde gecancelt, und der ganze Tross bewegte sich wieder nach unten... Einige fuhren dann bald wieder hoch für einen Flug - aber für einen Task kam die Aufhellung 2, 3 Stunden zu spät.

10:00 Shuttle from Camperspace 10:35 and 11:05 Busses to Beatenberg Waldegg Bags will be shuttled to Parking Howald Briefing at the Parking 12:15 First take offs possible at 14:00, probably 14:30, Airstart 15:30 or 16:00 We are not sure about setting a task due to the Bise (NE-wind), but we can fly almost for sure and with this procedure we can decide tomorrow morning and afterwards on location. If we set a task, it is similar to Sunday. Meteo ******** A high-altitude low lies in the Mediterranean region and an area of high pressure centred over England is causing a breeze on the northern side of the Alps and the humid air will remain with us. Much residual moisture below 3000-3500 m. Thus in the afternoon over the central and northern lowlands 3-6/8 Cu with a base between 1200-1600 m. In the Alpine region 5-8/8 Sc and hardly any brightening. Localised, small-scale showers likely in the afternoon and early evening north of the Alps and in southern Ticino. Pressure gradient 7 hp north-south, and 3 hp east-west In short for Interlaken: 8/8 Cu from low down in the afternoon 6-8/8 rising to 1800 Wind: Ground at Interlaken: difficult to make a prognosis, but probably not strong from East 1000m East 5-10 kmh 1500m Northeast (depend on relief) 15 kmh 2000m Northeast 25 kmh 3000m Northeast 25 kmh

Tuesday is also cancelled, a task is out of the question. Wednesday will be difficult. Bise, but unfortunately "humid bise". According to the current forecast, there is unlikely to be sunshine (- but it will still climb as it warms up...). A valid task is difficult to realise. Thursday still bise, but dry. Task likely. Friday and Saturday look good according to today's forecast.

Die Störung kam etwas verzögert, der in der Nacht erwartete Regen kam am Morgen. Es regnete als alle Pilot:innen in Linienbussen (reserviert mit Extrafahrten) nach Waldegg fuhren, während dem Briefing regnete es kurz nicht, aber es nieselte auch am Start noch. So wurde der Start auf 13:30 und der Airstart auf 15 Uhr verschoben. Zum Glück. Anfangs ging es mega zäh (ohne Sonne), später wars aber richtig schön zu fliegen. Der kurze Task bot viele Optionen, so dass alle sehr zufrieden waren. Fabrice drehte an einer wichtigen Stelle höher als Steph Morgenthaler und Michi Maurer, schaffte einen entscheidenden Übergang und baute den Vorsprung bis ins Ziel sogar noch aus.

We go to the Amisbüel Take Off. Busses leave 9:05, 2 x 9:35, 1 x 10:05 from INTERLAKEN WEST, Bahnhof Briefing 10:45 at Howald-Parking Take Off around 12:15-14h METEO On Sunday, the Alpine region will lie on the front of a low pressure zone over north-west Europe in a moderately humid and mild south-westerly current. Tonight, a low pressure system over the Benelux countries brought more humid air to the north-west half of Switzerland in particular. The current rain is evidence of this. After a brief period of calm, Switzerland will once again be under the influence of a new low pressure system with its centre over Brittany on Sunday evening and humid and unstable stratified air will flow towards us. A cold front crosses Switzerland on Monday. Light rain until about 9 am Clearing from 10 am With the radiation we expect: Interlaken 2-3/8, base rising to 1800m at 15 pm (theoretically higher, but I don't believe) Above that 2-6/8 AC to 3200 Very low air pressure (1013). In the course of the afternoon first isolated developments (some from 1600), in the evening widespread showers and isolated thunderstorms We can hope for a window of usable conditions from 11am to 3pm - but the wind is strong: The higher and the further west, the stronger the wind. Interlaken Ground: rather weak valley wind system, getting stronger in the afternoon, 10-20 kmh W 1500m 10 kmh W 2000m 20 kmh WSW 2500m 25 kmh SW 3000m 35 kmh SW Further West it is stronger.
