Top of the range for paragliding (any rating) — switch wings up top to compare. Hang gliders hold roughly 10 mph more than paragliders.
Very high-altitude alpine launch (~11,000 ft) run by Vail Valley Paragliding, open in winter only and reserved for advanced solo pilots — their year-round tandem site is Bellyache Ridge. Flies best in northwest wind; keep speeds light given thin air and rotor off the surrounding peaks. USHPA membership is required to fly any of their sites. Best in calm morning conditions before valley winds build.
