iParaglide Right Site Paragliding Weather Widgets and Blog
Holiday greetings from iParaglide,
As a resource to help paragliding pilots decide if its a good day to paraglide or not, we post detailed paragliding weather information as iParaglide Right Site Paragliding Weather blogs every Saturday and Sunday rain or shine. We do this by 05:00 when days are longest in the summer and move to 09:00 off-season.
In addition, we post mid week if it looks at all flyable. If we don't post mid week, its because it is obviously not flyable!
We do this for all paragliding areas within a 2.5 hour radius of Vancouver: Vancouver, Chilliwack, Pemberton and Bellingham in order that pilots can chose the best and safest location to fly.
You can find a link on our home page in the top right hand corner of the page on the right hand column of widgets under the Paragliding News Widget under iParaglide Right Site Paragliding Weather (Date).
We have a separate blog page setup for iParaglide Right Site Paragliding Weather (Date). You can track historical paragliding weather patterns over the year this way.
For your own detailed paragliding weather analysis you can go to the home page and on the right hand column containing widgets, scroll down to widget 7 & 8. Here you will see the widgets Paragliding Webcams and Paragliding Weather Tools. Here you can access the exact tools we use to make our paragliding forecasts. Click on the links sequentially from top to bottom and you will follow a logical progression that will help you see the paragliding weather for the day. iParaglide P1-P4 paragliding pilots are expected to use these weather tools daily, as part of their homework and becoming true pilots, before coming out and briefing the instructor team prior to flying. In this way students are prepared and learn to assess paragliding weather on their own for when they graduate from the P2 program. If you are not an iParaglide P1 - P4 pilot, but are interested, and have never done this before, please take the time to try it and ask us any questions by contacting us at 604-681-4459 or use our contact form.
Understanding how to asses weather is paramount to your safety, performance and enjoyment of paragliding. You can access the iParaglide home page widgets Paragliding Webcams and Paragliding Weather Tools by scrolling to bottom right of screen, in the widget column.
Have a great New Year!
