What we look for at Snow King (Jackson)

Wind direction

NW (315°) → N (360°)

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

Ideal speed

5–15 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.

NW-facing, lift-accessed evening glass-off; want 5-15 mph straight up the slope. LEESIDE in prevailing W flow: strong W over the back early = rotor, fly elsewhere. High-alpine (~7750 ft), strong midday thermals. NOTE: JHFFC site currently closed (insurance).
