- it's currently mostly cloudy with a temperature of 7°C and tailwind
- as long as the sun is hitting the slopes enough to create the "pockets" of warm rising air, Krum has the "fuel" he needs to stay aloft
- the fact that he cleared the range at that altitude suggests he found a good "thermal street" to ride across
