This was our 16th annual Easter flying meet at Panorama Mountain Resort.
The weather was exceptional and so were the number of participants. 36 pilots came with their friends and families to enjoy what Panorama Resort had to offer.
"Sunny and Hot" was the weather everyday, which was perfect to fly and ski. Virtually, there was no chance to sit down and relax, as there was so much to do.
This year Dave Gorzitza won the trophy, Max and Katia on tandem came in second and Nathan Livingston was 3rd.
On Saturday we had 6 pilots (Frank Kernick, Derek Yuill, Chris Wilson, Mike Waddington, Nathan Livingston and myself) getting high above Panorama (3500 m) and then flying out to the Valley. Nathan flew home to Wilmer, I flew to Mt. Swansea and to my place and the others landed at the Lakeside Pub beach.
The highlight of the meet was the visit from Dannie Wolf and Stewart Midwinter. It was so great to see both of them come and join us for dinner. This year we dedicated the Easter Meet to Dannie Wolf who had a towing accident last year and is currently in a wheel chair.
Thanks again to everybody who donated cash or auction items and could raise $2200 (The Lakeside meet bought the auction items for $500 to use at the Lakeside meet) for Dannie.
Last but not least, we also like to thank Panorama Resort and their awesome staff for hosting our unique event.
