Where it is
What we look for at Bria Dog Ridge (Mammoth Lake)
Wind direction
WSW (240°) → WNW (300°)
The wind must blow from within this arc. Direction is the same for both wings.
Ideal speed
5–12 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.
A high (8,400+ ft) west-facing launch above Mammoth Lakes in classic eastern Sierra / Owens Valley big-air terrain - among the strongest, roughest thermals in the US. Works on light west wind; fly the smooth early-morning window or the evening glass-off and avoid midday summer overdevelopment and leeside rotor. Thin air and cold on big climbs. Treat as advanced and fly with locals who know the timing; there's no dedicated club site guide, so verify conditions locally.
