What we look for at Hogsback Mtn

Wind direction

SW (225°) → W (270°)

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

Ideal speed

6–15 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.

Undeveloped hike-and-fly summit in the mountains near Juneau; there's no published site guide and the local Juneau Eagles club only documents Mt. Roberts. A WSW-facing launch would work best in SW-to-W winds. Expect fast-changing maritime weather, overdevelopment, and venturi/rotor accelerating through the valleys. Advanced pilots only, and check with the Juneau club before flying.
