Weather 

Salt lake city sits at an elevation of 4,226' MSL It's a high desert environment with the Oquirrh mountains  to the West and the Wasatch mountains lining the East,we are in a valley. This valley is set up with a big advantage for paragliders. We enjoy some of the best flying in the continuous united states. Both for XC and Speedflying/riding 

We primarily Focus most of our attention on the Wasatch. These mountains have a huge vertical elevation gain 6k' vert + coming directly up from the valley floor , Some sections reaching just below the 12k' vert marks. It's our own version of the Alps!

We get a variety of weather patterns and systems that we are constantly checking before we construct a plan on what we will be flying the next day.

P2/ Speedflying students will learn a comprehensive overview of weather theory and how to plan for a hike & fly mission
