Frisco Peak


Location: West North West of Milford, Utah - 4 hours South of Salt Lake City.

Altitude: 9600 ft

Vertical: 4000 ft

Easily the "biggest air" site in Utah that is currently used for paragliding.  Climbs to 18,000 ft (+) if you're not careful!  Excellent cross-country potential.  Very seldom is it flyable and not good for cross-country.  We heard such horror stories about this site from the hangliding community that for the first 2 years of paragliding at Frisco it was only myself and one other x-country buddy who were willing to fly it (ignorance is bliss).  On my 5th time there it looked too "big" to me so I chose not to fly, but my friend did.  He got sucked into a cloud at 2200 ft/min lift while in a B-line stall! A half hour later he was 200 ft off the ground going 70 miles/hour over the ground.  He came through it without a scratch.  Wow! We were both permanently impressed. Take a tarp along for launching.
