What we look for at jelm

Wind direction

E (100°) → S (180°)

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

Ideal speed

6–15 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.

Listed as a launch on Jelm Mountain (~9,600 ft) SW of Laramie, but there is no real documentation of it as a flying site. The orientation hint suggests SE flow (E to SSW edges). High, remote terrain with strong afternoon thermals and likely leeside rotor; morning or evening is safest. Treat as unverified — confirm it's actually flyable, plus access and LZs, with a local pilot before committing.
