What we look for at Many Feathers Paragliding School Launch

Wind direction

S (190°) → WSW (250°)

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

Ideal speed

5–12 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.

Training launch on Big Mountain / Whitefish Mountain Resort (~6,350 ft) used by Many Feathers Paragliding School. Faces southwest - works in south-to-west flow up the slope. High-elevation thermic site: strong midday cycles and lee-side rotor when wind is over the back, so students fly morning or evening. Instructor-supervised; confirm access with the school.
