Thanks Dan. What about wind blowing parallel to a valley? I've read it's more predictable than wind quartering or perpendicular to the valley.
If parralel is relitivly flat and consistant, then yes... If it ends in a rising bowl or the side walls narrow and turn, your fighting fate.
So in that case a relatively long valley that is straight and doesn't end for quite a ways? But not with multiple fingers coming off? In my mind what I said would apply to say a long, wide river valley
