Yeesh. That’s probably the best reason not to try flying a 60 mph Piper Cub in the mountains...

Vertical kinks in the jet stream are very, very bad.

Windy but not close to the 231 mph wind measured on Mt Washington in New Hampshire

For you frequent and also you white knuckle flyers, that is one of the reasons for those toboggan rides just east and west of Denver. Buckle up!

Really? I didn’t know that the Pope was visiting the Rocky Mountains.

Easily had 80+mph winds here in palmer divide. Lasted about 2 hours. Tall pines were bent 30 degrees over.

Rather breezy - if you want to experience some air movement, go to downtown Juneau, Alaska on a clear winter day and enjoy what they call the Taku wind. They are actually katabatic winds caused by high pressure air seeking warmer air down slope of a mountain, in this case towards saltwater.
The local Indians warned the first settlers about it, but there was gold nearby so they didn't care.

I thought it was always that high - I remember driving back east through the Rockies from Seattle in 1968 after separation from the Army - heading downhill in my Volkswagen Beetle with the wind coming toward me and the pedal to the floor - doing about five miles an hour - almost gone with the wind....
