ssb_logo2Welcome!

The Soaring Society of Boulder (SSB) is based at Boulder Municipal Airport, Colorado. It has been in continuous operation since 1959 and is run by volunteers. We provide gliders, tows, training and a great social environment to our 170+ members and their families. Our membership ranges in experience from fresh adoptees of the sport, instructors, national champions to world championship contenders. The club was just awarded two winners trophies by the Soaring Society of America for competitions in distance and speed.

If this is your first visit and you wish to review:

TFR

The dry conditions in the any month mean that fires can pop up all over the Colorado.

The FAA may issue a Temporary Flight Restrictions, so please check their site for NOTAMs and give these TFRs a wide berth.

The SkyVector website provides a non official source to visualize TFRs on a zoomable sectional map.

opsm_raptorsBe aware that there are sensitive raptor nesting locations in the Boulder area.

These are typically closed February 1 through July 31.

Gretchen Bolivar, the Lead Ranger of the City of Boulder’s Open Space and Mountain Parks, would like us to spread the following words:

Greetings and Happy Spring!  And, did you know it is also Raptor Season?!  That’s right.  Every year, raptors return to their territories to mate, lay eggs, incubate and raise their nestlings.
