Greg, I really got a lot out of this video. The narration combined with the Avery visual really helps me visualize the process. Thank you.

Upwind thermals can also steal some of the upslope wind. Often when everyone starts getting lower on the ridge, the best tactic is to resolutely dive upwind and connect with the thermal that reduced the dynamic lift. So following lifty bits upwind is good, but also look for sudden sink cycles then push straight upwind instead of hugging terrain all the way down, under the thermal column.
