I went out there to work as an instructor and so my reason for being there is different from a fun jumpers perspective. I was told that they had more students than staff to handle them and that there was a desire to build up the business to a higher level. Right now the place is being funded by the DZO. A great guy named Rex who has a lot of energy and gets help from a dedicated staff. They all have full time jobs and hence the weekend only hrs. of operation. The place has fantastic potential but I got the impression that there isn't a lot of desire to increase the student numbers. With the business where it is, it would be difficult for an instructor to make enough to live on for the summer, let alone survive the year. The place has fantastic potential and it's too bad it isn't being operated to it's capacity. I certainly wish them the very best and hope they find a way to keep the place going so it can continue in the future.

Extremely experenced staff for a smaller dz, and some very good fun jumpers combined with a great dedication to having fun and being safe makes this one of the best DZs I've been too. No sky gods, and an awesome student program makes the DZ welcoming to new jumpers. Overall a perfect place to jump, hang out and have a blast.

The place to jump in Eastern Washington

Great dropzone with a small club atmosphere. The caravan is in great shape & climbs fast. Large indoor packing area, friendly manifest & big blue skies. I didn’t have a problem with the landing area since the indoor packing area is carpeted. The people are fantastic & willing to jump with you even if you are the newest/guest jumper on the dropzone. Farmer McNasty gives the DZ character. No attitude here just lots of fun people with big smiles! If you are visiting or moving to Eastern Washington this is the place to jump.
