Soaring Information and Weather Notes:
Maximum ceiling in the CYA is 10,000' ASL

May be flown in SE to NW winds. Can blow up from the S very quickly, but the lake to the S is a good indicator.
An awesome 10 km ridge, featuring a huge, near-vertical 2,000' rock face.
Climbing  above the ridge offers spectacular views of the coast mountains, with Seven Sisters towering above the others.
Possible rotor / no LZ in Nth winds.

Vehicle / Transportation Requirements: Rugged 2-WD

Description of Launch:
SW facing grassy / rocky knoll. Can lay out 2 PG at once.

Turn S off Hwy 16 onto Old Lakelse Rd. Take 1st L after Thornhill Garbage Dump, drive 5 km up Forest Service road to a definite fork.
Take the left fork, drive 200 m to old road on Left. Walk 10 minutes down old road to launch.

Lots of choice if you make mistakes, but the official LZ is the south end of a driving range on a knoll at the Skeena Golf Course.
Not visible from launch. Don’t fly across Old Lakelse Lake Rd - it’s in airport airspace.
Possible rotor / no LZ in Nth winds.

Other Information:
File a NOTAM at Terrace Airport FSS 1 hour prior to possible launch. State time in the air.
