selbbub78 0 #3 March 21, 2006 I'm seriously considering it as well. I've been DYING to go to alaska, and it doesn't help that my boyfriend is always talking bout what an amazing place it is.

simplyputsi 0 #4 March 21, 2006 It was talked about here between a friend and I. I'm up for it depending on my job situation. How awesome would it be to jump at midnight with the glow of the sun still there.Skymama's #2 stalker - Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
grasshopper 0 #5 March 21, 2006 In my opinion, it is one of the best boogies out there. Very mellow, but fun. The weather can be iffy at times, but definately worth going. If you are thinking about going, I'd book a flight now, as flights just go up in price for alaska in the summer.________________________________________________________ Abbie drove me to Idaho and all I got was this lousy sigline Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NWFlyer 2 #6 March 21, 2006 I'm 95% sure I can make it. I just reserved a flight using frequent flyer miles, since those go quickly. Assuming I can make it work around work, I'm in. Hmm.... I wonder if Kapowsin will let me hop a ride on the Otter? "There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please.

tinab 0 #8 March 22, 2006 Fly commercial!! I rode up in the Otter one year.....long flight, cramped with gear & no bathroom on board.....booked a commercial flight for the following year. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, I thought about that... not to worry, I've got a commercial flight booked. I figure that's 3 1/2 hours... the ride on the Otter's got to be longer. Not fun...

NWFlyer 2 #14 May 12, 2006 QuoteI'll be there....Oh yeah, i live only 8 miles from the DZ.... Make sure you BOOK the GLACIER JUMP ! ! ! ! ! ! Is it something that has to be done in advance? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
unlucky1 0 #15 May 12, 2006 Nope. you can book it when you get here. Just remember, if its a really nice day, try to go out then. Book as soon as you get here so you can be on one of the first loads. Last year, we had 2 days of PERFECT weather. THen the last 2 days was a downpour. I sneaked into a slot for the Glacier when another jumper decided to do it later in the Boogie. He never got his chance because of the rain. How long are you gonna be up for? Just the boogie? Or make a little extended vacation out of it? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NWFlyer 2 #16 May 12, 2006 QuoteHow long are you gonna be up for? Just the boogie? Or make a little extended vacation out of it? I wish. Plan right now is fly up Thursday night, home Sunday night. If for whatever reason I'm not on a project at that time (doubtful, though) I may be able to extend, but no plans to at this point. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
selbbub78 0 #17 May 23, 2006 I'm doing a vacation! I'm gonna be there for 1 1/2 weeks. still unsure of what i'm doing when i'm out there.
