No club/USHPA site guide, paraglidingEarth listing, Wilder Adventures Wyoming launch entry, or XContest takeoff data could be found for Jelm Mountain as a free-flight launch. Jelm Mountain (~9,629-9,656 ft MSL) sits SW of Laramie, WY, in the Medicine Bow region; it is best known publicly as a trail-run/peak and Game & Fish access area rather than a documented flying site. The wind window below is INFERRED solely from the paraglidingEarth orientation hint (working octants E, SE, S), not from a published site guide. Ideal arc centered on SE (~100-180 deg, wind FROM), marginal/cross edges out to roughly ENE (~75 deg) and SSW (~205 deg). Speed ranges are generic high-altitude Rocky Mountain estimates: light-to-moderate is workable, but note that at 9,600+ ft true airspeed for a given ground wind is higher, density altitude reduces glider performance, and afternoon thermals/convergence over the Snowy Range can build strong, gusty, and turbulent conditions. Likely lee-side rotor and rapidly increasing wind in the afternoon; morning or evening glass-off is generally safest. Treat as an advanced/high-mountain site with unknown access and landing-zone status until verified with a local pilot. CONFIRM all numbers, airspace, access, and LZ on the ground before flying.
