A lot can depend on how frequently you are flying and how well attuned you are to the a/c handling. Just got back to gliders after the winter break and my landings in one type are not yet as good as they were last November.

The fun part of landing in strong winds is dealing with the sheer. I still remember approaching a strip in a 20+ kt. crosswind that suddenly disappeared as I came below the tops of the 30' spruce trees
