General info.:
ParaSnowflake is series of flying over the defined points in the winter time in south-west part of Slovenia which allow us to have good soaring condition. Air distances can reach 100km or even more.
Individual flying named as “Snowflake” is not a competition or FAI 2 competition. But it tries to show pilots how the competition looks like. It’s purely individual flying and training for competition.
The main purpose of this event’s is to show this kind of flying to less experience or novice pilots and of course for the pros to keep up their shape.
In that case, experienced pilots won’t loose their edge during winter and less experienced can learn from them.
ParaSnowflake has two types of disciplines. For gliders up to EN-C (sport task) and gliders above EN-C (competition task). 
We will continue with already proven system from the past “events”, which allows pilots with lower class gliders to equally fly with higher classes. We will try to achieve that by putting different/bigger cylinders for lower class in the same route.
In that case the flying can be very interesting....where lower class gliders can equally fly to higher classes. We believe that flying will be very interesting and allow pilots to fly wing – by wing in the air no matter which glider you fly.
Final results will be separated in "overall" and "C-type" and woman (in case of 3 or more participant)
