What we look for here
  • Wind directionE (90°) → SE (135°)
  • Ideal speed5–12 mph
  • Upper limits≤ 15 mph base · gusts ≤ 18

No specific published wind-window data found. RMHPA (Colorado's USHPA chapter site guide) lists "Azure" only as a secondary site and explicitly notes it "does not have good legal access" — so access/legality is the primary concern and there is no maintained site guide with numbers. Wind arc is INFERRED from the paraglidingEarth orientation hint (E, SE octants): ideal launch wind FROM ~90-135 deg, marginal/cross edges ~70-160 deg. This is a high-altitude mountain XC launch (8596 ft MSL) in the Williams Fork / Ute Pass region of Colorado's high country, so typical high-country hazards apply: strong midday thermals, rapid overdevelopment, valley/upslope wind reversals, and lee-side rotor if the gradient wind opposes the launch facing. Light morning or early/mid-day cycles are generally safest; afternoon thermals build quickly at this elevation and density altitude reduces glide/penetration, so keep base wind modest (~5-12 mph, max ~15, gusts under ~18). Treat all speed numbers as conservative general-knowledge estimates, NOT site-verified. Confirm current access status and rating with RMHPA / local pilots before flying.
