What we look for at Y Mountain

Wind direction

SW (225°) → NW (315°)

The wind must blow from within this arc. Direction is the same for both wings.

Ideal speed

8–12 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 thermal launch above the Provo 'Y' on BYU land. Works on a NW-to-SW wind, ideal around 8-12 mph, best in the smoother late afternoons. Hike-and-fly only up the steep ~1-mile Y Trail — no vehicles. Two sets of transmission wires cross between launch and the Kiwanis Park LZ; the Bigfoot LZ is permanently closed. P3 plus USHPA + UHGPGA membership; get a local briefing first.
