Weaver Bally

Faces E, SE, NW thermal site · 2,122 m takeoff · 1,672 m height gain

Overview

Weaver Bally is a mountain site in United States with a recorded launch elevation of 2,122 m. It works best in easterly, south-easterly and north-westerly winds, and can also work in southerly, south-westerly and westerly winds. Pilots fly it for thermal, using foot launch. It is recorded as suitable for cross-country flights.

  • Due to the glide out to landing areas and the lack of safe bail out LZs any closer, this site requires judgment, skill, and knowledge to fly safely. It is probably best to not fly during high winds for these reasons. Source: ParaglidingEarth
