ACCESS / CLOSURE WARNING: Mt. Bachelor is a CLOSED / DO-NOT-FLY site. The local USHPA-affiliated club (Desert Air Riders, Central Oregon) lists it under "Central Oregon Closed Sites" — closed due to landowner request — and ParaglidingMap flags it as "Mt. Bachelor - DO NOT FLY!". Do not fly here without confirming current legal access; it is within Mt. Bachelor ski-area / Deschutes National Forest permit land. Conditions data below is inferred only. The orientation hint (N,NE,E,W,NW) is a broad/split arc typical of a high alpine cone (8,868 ft MSL) where launch direction depends on which side you start from; the NW-N-NE-E sector is treated as ideal and the W flank as marginal. High-altitude hazards: true wind speeds gust strongly and increase rapidly with daytime heating at this elevation; expect lee-side rotor and turbulence on any downwind flank, thin air (long ground runs, faster true airspeed), rapid weather/cloud build-up, and cold. Best flown early morning in light, stable conditions before thermal/valley-wind cycle strengthens. Numbers are generic free-flight defaults, NOT a club-published site spec. Rating: not specified — treat as advanced/closed.
