Quick Hour building in USA
Hello
I know there are many threads on hour building but I need to do 30 hours as quickly as possible and was wondering if anyone experienced with the United States knew which area had the most stable and reliable VFR weather?
I've been to Florida in the past and struggled with daily TS and California seems to be full of haze and fog???
Someone on the hour buildng threads mentions Kansas but have no idea what goes on there
Any help is much appreciated

Thanks guys.. Ive flown a little in California before but it was in the LA basin so that is probably why I had so many viz problems.. #I guess Nevada or inland is the way forward.
Next question is does anyone have any flight center recommendations?

North Las Vegas (KVGT) is a great airport and there's some great flying to be done there. Death Valley, Hoover Dam, The Grand Canyon, Lake Powell, Lake Havasu (London Bridge), Lake Tahoe..... Mountain flying is great (just don't forget to lean) and iirc, it's Pierce Ferry where you can take off and almost imedeately decend into a canyon which is a great buzz.

Winter is not the most ideal time though I guess. Arizona all the way.

Cheers chaps
I shall give those suggestions a whirl.. I like the idea of North Vegas, It seems that it will keep me out of the fog of the LA basin and open me up to some interesting flying..
Your help is much appreciated

Stable weather in the USA
As someone else pointed out, you should opt for Arizona. Phoenix, Arizona to be more precise. SFA conduct most of their integrated student hour building there. You might want to look into that.
