Where it is
What we look for at Pine Mt. (training hill)
Wind direction
WNW (300°) → N (360°)
The wind must blow from within this arc. Direction is the same for both wings.
Ideal speed
8–15 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.
NW-facing student training hill on the north side of Pine Mountain (~5,100 ft), about 26 mi east of Bend; a Desert Air Riders site. Look for N/NW/W surface wind, ideally 10-15 mph. Primarily an evening glass-off site (last couple hours before sunset) since high-desert midday thermals get rough. High density altitude means faster ground speed and longer runs. P2 with local sign-off recommended; coordinate through the Desert Air Riders group.
