Dog Mountain is Cloudbase Country Club's home site above Riffe Lake near Glenoma, the most reliable HG site in western Washington and soarable much of the year. Launch faces west into the lake's steady W/NW breeze, with a north face that works on more northerly days; best in the afternoon thermal cycle. It's a restricted, tree-lined launch with rotor potential, so P3+ with restricted-launch skills is expected, no PG tandems, and watch for dirty air in the north LZ when it's strong. Private site: current USHPA and CBCC membership, an annual waiver, and a gate key are required.
