What we look for at Sieben Ranch 2

Wind direction

ESE (120°) → SSW (202°)

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

Ideal speed

6–14 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.

A separate SE/S-facing sub-launch of the Sieben Ranch area north of Helena (~5,100 ft), opposite aspect to the main W/NW launch. No club guide exists, so the SE-through-S window is inferred. Expect afternoon thermals, possible overdevelopment, and lee rotor if wind backs to W/NW. Private ranch land - landowner permission and a local briefing required before flying.
