Notes:
Launch and landing conditions were typical for Grouse; you had to be on your feet, observant, able to adapt to changing wind directions. But the lapse rate was exceptional and made for spectacular massive thermals and running lapses from Grouse Peak to Crowne.
Lots of pilots on the mountain, but much better representation from Seattle than Vancouver.
