Wind direction
E (90°) → SSE (157°)
The wind must blow from within this arc. Direction is the same for both wings.
Ideal speed
4–12 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.
High-altitude Sangre de Cristo launch (>10,500 ft) with an E-to-SE aspect near Villa Grove. Expect thin air, strong midday thermals, and quick valley-wind reversals; morning cycles or evening glass-off fly best, and midday overdevelopment and storms are common May-August. Any westerly synoptic flow risks lee-side rotor. Undocumented - verify the launch, access, and rating with local RMHPA pilots before flying.
