Location
What we look for at Cedar Mountain (the 'C')
Wind direction
WNW (292°) → NNW (340°)
The wind must blow from within this arc. Direction is the same for both wings.
Ideal speed
6–14 mph
Ceiling · Paragliding
≤ 19 mph base · gusts ≤ 23
Top of the range for paragliding (any rating). Switch wings up top to compare. Hang gliders hold roughly 10 mph more than paragliders.
Launch above Cedar City's hillside 'C', facing NW out over Cedar Valley; works best on a NW wind, with W and N also flyable. High-altitude launch (~9,350 ft), so density altitude cuts wing performance and adds sink. Timing window is narrow - too early you sink out, too late the wind gets too strong - so it's a midday/afternoon thermal-ridge window. Watch the electrical conduit added around the C (snag hazard), leeside rotor, and canyon venturi if it goes too west or strong. Verify locally with CUASA.
