Saturday - Task 4
Today we had to fly the classical task from Disentis to Schiers. On the way to Schiers we passed Nagens above Flims and the very beautiful "Rhein Schlucht". The conditions were quite turbulent at some places and the west wind was remarkable. Most of the pilots are very happy with this task.
Tomorrow the weather is bad and the day is already canceled.

Friday - Task 3
We had a fantastic task of 95km to Sedrun - Brigels - La Buora (Piz Medel) - Alp Nadels - Piz Tgietschen - Alp Schlans - Disentis. Until Piz Muraun it was easy to fly. Then a lot of shadow was the reason that some pilots had troubles with the wildlife protection zones. Some pilots will get penalties. At the end of Val Sumvitg it was quite turbulent, because we had around 25km/h head wind from south.
A really nice third day at the Disentis Open 2016.

Thursday - Task 2
Second day at Disentis Open 2016. A nice task of 67km to Dieni - Trun - Piz Muraun - Alp Lumpegna - Piz Nadels - Alp Glivers - Disentis. During the air start at 11:40 a lot of pilots were very low. It was difficult to make enough height before the start. Later the thermals got better and better. The cloudbase was around 2800m. From Trun to Piz Muraun 3 different routes were possible to fly. For the leaders it was therefore not easy to know which way is the fastest.
