What we look for at Mount Evans

Wind direction

SW (225°) → NW (315°)

The wind must blow from within this arc. Direction is the same for both wings.

Ideal speed

3–10 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.

Isolated 14,134 ft summit (officially renamed Mount Blue Sky in 2023), flown opportunistically as an early-morning sled or speedwing descent before valley winds build - not a maintained club site. Access is via the seasonal Mount Blue Sky Scenic Byway (summer only, gated, fee and timed-entry reservation) to the paved summit lot. Expert, fair-weather morning site only: watch for fast-building thermals, severe leeside rotor off the surrounding 13-14k ridges, and afternoon thunderstorms. Confirm launch legality locally before flying.
