Wind direction
S (190°) → W (260°)
The wind must blow from within this arc. Direction is the same for both wings.
Ideal speed
7–15 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.
High-desert launch in the Yampa Valley near Hayden, west of Steamboat (~6,500 ft), with no published club numbers — the S/SW orientation is only a map marker. Likely a thermal/XC site with strong gusty midday cycles and overdevelopment, so morning and evening glass-off are safest. Steamboat-area sites are generally invite-only, so confirm access with the local club first.
