(basically anyway)
Prevailing wind strikes the slope and as it cannot pass through the slope, it is then forced up and over.
 | It is in this section of upward moving air that LIFT is produced.
| | The amount of lift produced is dependant on certain factors, such as windspeed, shape of the slope and air temperature. A wind of 30km/h is sufficient to create a updraught of 30km/h, which is why slope soarers are able to attain height quickly and then dive down, converting the height into speed.
| | A slope where the wind strikes dead-on (perpendicular to the slope) is ideal, as a side-on wind will greatly reduce the amount of lift produced by the slope.
| | A slope with a concave "Bowl" will compress the wind as it is funneled up the slope and create even better lift.
| | A good prevailing wind will provide hours of lift for slope soaring.
| | The lift-band can extend away from the slope for several hundred metres and way up above the top of the slope. This makes for a large flying area
| | As the wind recedes, the lift will start to drop-off and then it is time to head back to land on top of the slope. |
