Winds were reported on ASOS as light and variable. I set up a landing on Runway 27. There seemed to be a considerable left crosswind on touchdown. On rollout at about 35 mph ground speed left wing rose and aircraft veered to the left. I applied opposite rudder but aircraft ground looped. I obviously failed to apply enough left aileron to keep the left wing down. Additional factor could have been higher groundspeed due to high elevation.
