Outline

The tallest peak of Mount Kirigamine is Mount Kuruma, on which there is a weather radar site. Most of the mountain is covered in grass with sparse bushes and rocks. The south and east sides are suitable for gliding with a narrow landing zone in the vicinity of a parking lot and a huge emergency landing at the west side of the mountain. The southeast cliffs are a launching point for gliders, with winds above 3 meters. The north part is equipped with ski-lifts.

gollark: Oh, fun idea: make your program try and figure out the source of the laser and shoot it directly.
gollark: The ability for lasers to lase other lasers, I mean.
gollark: Anti-laser lasers would be quite a fun feature to add to plethora.
gollark: Most of my laser-using programs just go for the simple but naive solution of firing toward the current position of whatever's being targeted.
gollark: Huh. That is much more advanced than my brief attempt at improved laser targeting, which just got the target's current position, figured out how long it would take for the laser to reach that, then added that times its velocity to the target position.
