About the Valley Soaring Association (VSA)
An association of glider pilots organized simply to foster enjoyment in the sport of Soaring...... The sport of operating a glider, flying freely through the air, using only rising air currents to remain aloft after being towed or self-launching into the sky.

The VSA provides a means for pilots to interact with each other, and the community in general. It's not enough for each of us to practice and demonstrate the refined skills that allow us to fly freely like an eagle, soaring for hours above the earth, and then returning confidently to the airport. As pilots, we enjoy talking to each other about our triumphs over nature, and sharing our recent discoveries in this infinitely variable, and endlessly challenging sport. We learn from each other, and enjoy hearing about flights by other pilots. The Valley Soaring Association (VSA) is composed of pilots, and friends of pilots, who enjoy sharing this wonderful sport.

It will help organize the information.

1) Good thermal generators or ridges that generate lift should be marked with yellow balloons, yellow lines, or yellow polygons. Try to give detailed information on the lift source.
 
2) Airports should be marked with a Blue line showing the approximate runway heading and length.

3) Landout fields should be marked in purple showing the usable landing area

4) Danger areas, caution areas, or areas that consistently lack lift should be marked with red balloons, red lines, or red polygons.

5) Try to add as many pictures from the air and on ground as possible.
Idea is thanks to Evergreen Soar.
