Hi Paul, We have a great slope sight called Hanglider Hill about 10 minutes east of Bakersfield I've been flying slope at for 23 years now. You need NW prevailing winds and lately with the storm systems its been mostly SE. I just finished a Carbon Millenium And am itching to set it up. I can give you wind updates if you need and would be glad to show you the sight. Depending on your location and the type of flying you like. I can give you several sites from Fresno to Tehachapi. Tehachapi would be the extreme as the winds haul ass up the pass but is a great sight if you have something sleek and heavy.
