Wind direction
W (260°) → NW (310°)
The wind must blow from within this arc. Direction is the same for both wings.
Ideal speed
6–12 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.
West-facing high-altitude ridge (~7,700 ft) near Randolph, managed by UHGPGA; a west to slightly NW wind works best. Expect burble right off launch and rotor behind the ridge, so don't top-land; midday is thermic and there's an evening gradient toward the valley. Arrive early afternoon and wait for it to come up - good for evening ridge soaring. P2/H2 with USHPA+UHGPGA membership; 4WD, chains in snow, and heavy mosquitoes near the river.
