This non profit is run like a dictatorship. The club maintains their power by having bylaws written in 2004 that maintain their "committee" indefinitely. Four people (with perpetual votes) push their private agenda and wishes on over 200 free flight pilots.
The founder and the perpetual committee have many times publicly ranted against other pilots and groups. There is definitely a "Founders Syndrome" going on here and the perpetual committee rubber stamp all of this rather unstable individuals wild accusations and rants.

The Shasta Sky Sailors have been actively developing Hat Creek Rim, a ridge and thermal soaring site in Northern California for paragliding and hang gliding, since we pioneered the site in the mid 1970's.
More information about flying at the site can be found at www.hatcreek.info.
