No authoritative site guide found for "Silver (Newcastle)." The site is not listed in CUASA, UHGPGA, Wilder Adventures (Utah XC), or paraglidingEarth searchable directories, nor in XContest results I could reach. Wind window inferred from the paraglidingEarth orientation hint (SW, W octants) plus general southwest-Utah high-desert mountain-launch knowledge. Ideal arc set to W through SW (225-280 deg, centered WSW ~247) which faces the prevailing SW flow; marginal edges extended to S and WNW (200-300). At 7349 ft MSL this is a high-elevation desert site: expect strong midday thermal cycles and the potential for overdevelopment/strong valley winds by early afternoon, so morning or evening glass-off windows are typically safer. Watch for thermic gust spread, leeside rotor if wind backs out of the orientation, and high true airspeed/density-altitude effects on launch and landing at this elevation. Speed ranges (ideal ~8-15 mph, base max ~18, gust max ~22) are conservative defaults for an unconfirmed mountain PG/HG launch and should be treated as estimates only. Confirm direction, usable speed, hazards, rating, and access with local pilots / the managing club before flying.
