What we look for at DESERT MOUNTAIN OLD SCHOOL HG/PG LAUNCH
Wind direction
W (270°) → N (350°)
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.
High, old-school HG/PG launch (~6,300 ft) on the Rocky Mountain Front near East Glacier / Two Medicine. Faces the west-to-north side. The Front is notorious for strong, gusty chinook west winds and lee-side rotor, so fly only light-to-moderate days and avoid strong synoptic westerlies. On or near Blackfeet Reservation land - confirm access locally before flying.
