alw 0 #1 April 28, 2005 Assuming I find the arch, stop the potato chipping, and eventually solo with confidence, I'm looking for a DZ that has a scenic mountain backdrop for FF and canopy video and still. Any suggestions. --------------------------------------------- Every day is a bonus - every night is an adventure. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You'll be in freefall and below the mountains cool viewhttp://www.skydivethefarm.com do you realize that when you critisize people you dont know over the internet, you become part of a growing society of twats?

We look at a lot of corn fields here in Michigan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites lippy 775 #5 April 28, 2005 Okanagan Skydive Adventures in Vernon, BC, Canada is one of the most scenic DZs I've ever jumped at. Alberta Skydivers, just north of Calgary, Alberta also has a nice view of the rockies. I guess both are a little outta the way for you, but if you ever get a chance I recommend both places.I got nuthin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites piisfish 135 #6 April 28, 2005 almost anywhere we jump www.epco.aeroscissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites carbonezone 0 #7 April 28, 2005 Like Amazon said....Toledo Washington's view flat out rocks....."god I miss the toledoite's and the view" <> Tami Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites pyke 0 #8 April 28, 2005 Not sure how far you're willing to travel to for the forementioned scenery, but *Dunedin, Wanaka/Queenstown, Fox Glacier, Franz Josef, Rotorua, Taranaki - New Zealand *Empuriabrava, Spain *Mile-Hi Skydiving, Denver, CO (never been, but I can only imagine you'll get good mountian shots in the background) *Lake Tahoe, CA *Lapalisse, France ...and many, many more!!!

Mountains in N.C. that should keep me laughing for an hour. If you want mountain views in the U.S. or Canada you have to go west. The northern Utah drop zones have excellent mountain veiws.
