What we look for at King Mountain (Arco/ Moore)

Wind direction

SSW (200°) → WNW (290°)

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

Ideal speed

5–12 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.

Main King launch (faces W) plus the S open-slope launch — big-air thermal/XC site in the Lost River Mtns. Violent thermals & turbulence; keep base wind light-moderate. P3 recommended (15 mph base / 18 mph gust ceiling); comp-level is P4. Lower launch tolerates higher wind. Not for beginners. 2026-07-01: split from the single King Mountain entry.
