What we look for at Centennial Ridge

Wind direction

NE (45°) → SE (135°)

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

Ideal speed

5–13 mph

Ceiling · Paragliding

Top of the range for paragliding (any rating). Switch wings up top to compare. Hang gliders hold roughly 10 mph more than paragliders.

No site guide found - 'Centennial Ridge' near Centennial, WY (Snowy Range / Medicine Bow NF) isn't listed in paraglidingEarth, Wilder Adventures, or any club guide, so treat it as an undocumented backcountry thermal launch. At ~9,500 ft the air is thin and cycles get strong and switchy midday; the best window is mid-to-late morning before convection and valley wind take over. Advanced/mountain-experienced only; verify direction, footprint, and legality on-site.
