To agree with Ole Scissorlink. Pretty much what a pilot feels happy with. Obviously a pilot with more experience would be happier in higher winds then a low time guy or someone new to an area.
But in the mountains up and downdrafts can be more of a concern as I have flown around Mt Cook in some nice conditions to find myself going up at close to 3000 fpm. Now if that is happening, then somewhere in the area it's going down at 3000fpm. And that would be pretty hard to out climb.
I'm pretty happy in wind, but then it also comes down to passenger comfort.
