Crestline (San Bernardino)
Best Wind Directions
About This Spot
You park you vehicule in the parking behind launch which is accessible with any vehicle (asphalt road).
There is another launch (Marshall Peak) which is about 300m (1000') lower in case the wind is too strong here. Paragliders use Crestline instead of Marshall to lengthen a sledder when conditions are too weak for staying up.
There are normally higher winds here than at the Marshall launch which is about 300m (1000') lower.
Marshall is an unusually reliable site, especially in the summer. Beginning May 1 there are often 100 soarable days in a row. How high you get and how far you might go XC depend on your skill but also largely on the day's conditions. Southern California often has a temperature inversion that limits soaring to 300-600 meters over Marshall launch, but some days are much higher.
Non-CSS-members have to sign a waiver and pay a daily fee of 10USD! USHPA membership required!
