Location
What we look for at Laramie Peak
Wind direction
NNE (22°) → ESE (112°)
The wind must blow from within this arc. Direction is the same for both wings.
Ideal speed
5–14 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.
Remote, high-altitude backcountry mountain launch around 10,000 ft — thin air means faster launch runs and higher groundspeed, so keep winds light. Works best in NE-to-E flow; SE and S are cross/secondary. West winds put the launch in the lee with dangerous rotor. Expect strong midday thermals and afternoon thunderstorms, so morning or the evening glass-off is smoothest. Advanced site with rough access and no easy retrieve.
