July 18th and 19th, 2008 (Friday and Saturday)

Boy, what an awesome clinic. Several pilots hit cloud base or close. We had amazing weather and some new members of the "Cove Club" were inducted. Only a handful of pilots have launched from cove and climbed to the peak.

Where did we go for the Clinics this year?
| Site Name | Vert | Access | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|
| Venice (6500 ASL) |
1200 | Hike of 400 ft vert. to summit | P-2 Launch in all directions. A true 360 degree launch. Soarable in at least 5 wind directions. Great LZ's and a fun place to do a distance gliding competition. |
| Parker (8500 ASL) |
1600 | Two wheel drive | P-2 Launch to the west. Soarable with great cross-country potential as the Parker ridge rins for 25 uninterupted miles. |
| Hancock (9200 ASL) |
1700 | Two wheel drive almost to top. | P-2 Launch with cross country potential. A straight shot to the Fish Lake High Top Plateau - the second highest mountain range in Utah. |
| Cove (8800 ASL) |
3300 | Two wheel drive | P-3 Launch. See August 2006 issue of USHPA magazine for article. North, West, and South launches. Ridge soarable up to 11000 ASL - cross country potential. Utah's ultimate all-purpose flying site. This site rocks. |
| Edna (11,730 ASL) |
5600 | Two wheel drive (mostly) | P-3 Launch. Utah's new Highest drive up launch and biggest vert. Unbelievable morning thermal action |
