Scott,
Moving to the Pacific Northwest and Spokane will give you many great opportunities to fly a variety of contests. I am thankful I live in this area as the the Northwest Soaring Society, Inland Empire, Seattle Area Soaring Society (SASS), Portland Area Soaring Society (PASS)and Mid-Columbia Soarer's put on several contests a year. You will only be 2 hours away from one of the premier slope sites in the US (Eagle and Kiona Butte), there is aerotowing that goes on all over Washington and the NWSS people are a great bunch to fly with. There is a schedule of events that is on the NWSS website, this next year we will have the 30th Annual NWSS Tournament here in Pasco, WA. The 2006 events will be posted I'm sure soon.
There is HLG flying all over and in my oppinion some of the top pilots that make up the IHLGF live and compete in Seattle.
So whatever you fly you will be in great shape and have plenty to choose from. Here is the NWSS Site. http://www.northwestsoaringsociety.org/index.html Thanks.
