No published site-specific wind-window numbers were found for the "Many Feathers Paragliding School Launch." Coordinates (48.16, -113.955) and 6348 ft elevation place this on the slopes of Big Mountain / Whitefish Mountain Resort in Montana's Flathead Valley, the local training area for Many Feathers Paragliding School (USHPA/APPI school). Wind window inferred from the paraglidingEarth orientation hint (working octants S, SW, W) plus general mountain-launch knowledge. The launch faces roughly SW, so ideal is wind FROM ~190-250 deg blowing straight up the slope; marginal/cross conditions extend to ~160 (S) and ~290 (W). As a SCHOOL launch used by students, treat speeds conservatively: light, smooth flow is preferred (~5-12 mph), with a sensible base ceiling near 15 mph and gusts under ~18 mph. High-elevation mountain site: expect strong midday thermal cycles and possible lee-side rotor/turbulence when wind is off the inferred arc (e.g., N/E component over the back). Best flying typically morning or evening glass-off and gentle thermic mid-cycles rather than peak-of-day. Site access/rating is school/instructor-supervised; verify current conditions and access directly with Many Feathers Paragliding (manyfeathersparagliding.com) before flying. Confidence LOW - arc is orientation-inferred, not from an explicit club/USHPA numeric guide.
