What we look for at Grizzly Mountain
Wind direction
S (180°) → SW (225°)
The wind must blow from within this arc. Direction is the same for both wings.
Ideal speed
7–15 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.
A high-desert ridge near Prineville (~5,600 ft) that faces roughly S to SW. Desert Air Riders lists it as CLOSED at the landowner's request, so it's off-limits — don't fly without confirmed permission. When it was flown it worked on S-SW wind; expect strong, rowdy midday desert thermals with the smoothest air at evening glass-off, like the club's nearby Pine Mountain sites.
