Big Creek is open and ready for visitors. Looks like nice weather is on tap for this weekend....note however that at the time this first photo was taken, you're going to get a fat tailwind if you land in the usual direction.
Had any backcountry-specific training lately? If not, now is the time! The IAA website has a list of backcountry-specific CFIs.
Brush up on canyon maneuvering, slow flight, precise touchdown skills, and get recommendations for ops at specific strips from CFIs who know them well. Let's keep the accidents down!
