Прогноз был хороший. Правда. 9 утра - уже на горе. Собираем аппараты. В облаке правда, в большом снежном облаке. Но в ожидании, что база поднимется, солнце придет и мы полетим.
The weather forecast was good. Really. We were up on the mountain by 9 am, setting up the gliders in a huge snowy cloud, waiting for when the cloud base would lift up, the sun would show up and we would fly.
Сначала было весело.
In the begining it was fun.

После трех часов ожидания стало холоднее и грустнее. Облака не уходили, а только сменялись - снежное на градовое, градовое на дождевое и так по кругу.
After three hours of waiting it became colder and discouraging. The clouds didn't go away. Snowy clouds came after rainy clouds, clouds full of hail came after the snowy ones.

*Photos by Timothy EttridgeТак мы ждали до двух часов дня, продрогшие насквозь, уже поставившие таск, не имея возможности стартануть. В конце концов день отменили. А после отмены, под полностью затянутым небом - полетали.
So we waited until 2 pm, frozen completely, with the task without a possibility to take off. Eventually the day was canceled. And after they canceled the task, it became flyable, under the colmpletely overcast sky.
