I am new to PPG and I know I will be flying in many new locations over the next 12 months from beaches to mountains which are very different skill sets. My interest is in understanding how to fly in mountaineous areas. How to read the winds to predict rotors, venturi effect, winds aloft and below, etc. What are the max winds we should fly in. Without a local pilot to coach me, any tips and trick on this topic would be greatly appreciated. I have 0 paragliding experience.
