Now I'm looking at airfares... mmm
No wait, this is crazy. Or is it...
Urrgh!
no no, I can't go, I've got work and no holidays left. I could quit...
No, really, it's a nice idea but I just can't.

So...
It happens that I'm going to be in town from August 12-15, and there will be a glider on my roof. Conditions have been disappointing in my neck of the woods, and I'd like to get some airtime! From what I understand, 3.5 days should yield at least one good flying day in the SLC/Draper area--yes?
Who should I get in touch with for site intro/advice on when/where to fly? Do I need a sticker? Anything else specific I need to know?
I'll be spending a night or two in Reno on the way back. I'd like to give Slide a try as well.
Any contact info/advice for either area would be appreciated!
Cheers
-matt

Read about Slide on the flying sites tab at the top of the page. Info and site rules are there.
