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.
