What we look for here
  • Wind directionNNE (22°) → ESE (112°)
  • Ideal speed5–14 mph
  • Upper limits≤ 18 mph base · gusts ≤ 22

High-altitude mountain launch (~10,171 ft MSL); thin air means higher true airspeed/groundspeed on launch, so favor lighter winds and strong skill. ParaglidingEarth lists best conditions from NE and E (rated 1-2 = good), with SE and S as workable secondary/cross directions. Ideal arc ~NE-E; SE-S marginal. West-quadrant winds (lee/back side) are not flyable and produce dangerous rotor over the launch. At this elevation expect strong thermal/convective cycles by mid-day and possible overdevelopment; best window is morning (smoother air, gentler cycles) before thermals get violent, or late-afternoon glass-off. Watch for rapidly building gusts, valley wind reinforcement, and afternoon thunderstorms common in the Wyoming high country. Remote backcountry site with limited/rough access and no nearby retrieve; treat as advanced (P4/H4-level). No club/USHPA guide with explicit speed limits was found; speed values are inferred from high-altitude mountain-launch norms. Confirm conditions and landing options locally before committing.
