Takeoff description

The site is flyable all year around with good souring- and termic conditions. Skilift and gondola to takeoff. Takeoffs next to the lift. Flysted året rundt med gode hang- og termikkforhold like ved E6. Skiheis/gondol til take-off. Meget gode startforhold få meter fra heisen. Gode landingsforhold nede ved heisen, men kan enkelte ganger oppleves litt turbulent. Man skal være oppmerksom på, at ved sydlige vinder mer enn 5-6 ms i 800hPa, dannes det bølgeaktivitet. (lenticler) Yr.no har satt opp en målestasjon på Storhornet (1550 moh, 15 km luftlinje vest for Hovden) Denne måler vindstyrke og retning hver hele time. Søk på Oppdal, så finner du målestasjon litt ned på siden for tredagers varslet.
