West Rutland

Covered metal ramp facing SW. Most hang gliding pilots find the launch very comfortable. Paragliding pilots need to layout and pull up behind the ramp and carefully launch without running off the side of the ramp. Large setup area in a grove of shade trees accommodates up to 30 hang gliders. Launch works best in calm to moderate SW winds, but is soarable with light S through W winds.

Good ridge soaring and frequent wonder-wind conditions. Southwest days are usually not the best thermal days in this part of the world, but the local terrain produces thermals if conditions are at all favorable.

Takeoff altitude: 527m
