Park City, UT (PC hill)

• Wind directionSW (225°) → WNW (300°)
• Ideal speed6–14 mph
• Upper limits≤ 17 mph base · gusts ≤ 20

PC Hill is the prominent knoll bearing Park City's white "PC" monogram on the west side of town (40.674, -111.486, ~7200 ft MSL). The slope and the North 40 Playing Fields LZ sit at the knoll's western base, so the launch faces generally W and works on the SW-W-NW arc (ideal centered on W ~270, marginal out to SW/NW edges). This matches both the paraglidingEarth orientation hint (SW, W, NW) and the prevailing WNW (285-300 deg) valley wind shown in local forecasts. It is a small grass training-style knoll rather than a big XC mountain, so usable wind is modest: roughly 6-14 mph ideal, base max ~17 mph, gusts kept under ~20 mph given the high density altitude (7200 ft) where a paraglider needs more groundspeed and stalls/collapses bite harder. Best flown in the smoother morning west flow or mellow evening cycles; midday and any frontal/canyon-outflow wind brings thermic punch, gust spread and lee-side rotor off surrounding terrain and the higher ridges to the east. No USHPA/UHGPGA guide publishes explicit numeric wind limits for PC Hill specifically, so speed figures are inferred from the orientation, elevation and general small-hill soaring practice; scout the LZ (North 40 fields / nearby Meadow) in person and check with local UHGPGA pilots before flying. Lower the ceiling for P2-level pilots. Confidence medium: direction arc is well supported by orientation + prevailing wind, speeds are inferred.
