FLYSITES

- Ymir - Mt Dundee

DESCRIPTION

The main HG / PG landing field is difficult to approach and the air is often rough, prone to quite a bit of turbulence. Good approach skills are needed. The old LZ is now closed as the Forest Service has replanted it. Land at the Ymir Whirl disc golf course just above it (Nth) Expert skills needed particularly for HGers. PG may land downtown Ymir (at the campground or beside the river) in zero wind conditions ONLY. Downtown is a turbulaent, rotory mess if there is any wind in the valley. The flag on the Fire Department roof downtown will show false direction with wind speeds above 3kph. HG landing zone is on the bench above a large replanted mill site on north side of town on the Porto-Rico-Ymir Rd. PG Landing field is downtown across from Ymir Store and Hotel - this favorite drop in spot has liquid refreshments right across the road. - This (PG) LZ is a really tight field, surrounded by power lines, trees and a river.
