BirdWoman 0 #1 December 30, 2006 Hello Skydivers! As the new year approaches it seems that there is a rumor that Elaborate Skydiving in Calhan is closing. I am here to bring the news that the rumor is just that...A RUMOR. Elaborate is doing better than expected and, as a result, has a lease on a caravan starting 02 January. (Yes, you heard me right...a caravan will arrive for your jumping pleasure on this upcoming Tuesday). Our dropzone has a laid back family atmosphere. Need I mention that we cook a free breakfast on Sunday mornings (waffles, eggs, sausage or bacon and Starbucks coffee)??? If you have any further questions, feel free to contact us at 719-522-9300. Happy Jumping! Stacey C.

sartre 0 #6 February 5, 2007 QuoteCome on out tomorrow...supposed to be nice all day! Believe, me, I was sure wishing I was there today. It was beautiful. But I was busy doing 'relative work'. How's next weekend looking? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites BirdWoman 0 #7 February 6, 2007 Right now the forecast is calling for low 50's on Saturday and low to mid 40's on Sunday. You'd better be there...

You'd better be there... REally? REally? That makes me excited!!! A co-worker said they were predicting snow on Saturday, and I just about left work to pack my things and move out of this state. Although we all know, Monday is too early to predict what Saturday will be. I'll keep hoping for decent weather. PLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASE By the way, do you make fun of dorky brand new A license holders who still probably don't know what they hell they're doing? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites BirdWoman 0 #9 February 7, 2007 I have checked the forecast several times today and they all seem to be different www.weather.com is saying: Saturday: mostly cloudy, high 49 Sunday: snow showers, high 38 When in doubt, call the dz @ 719-522-9300 for a weather update. Now, as far as making fun of a newbie? We don't do that because we all remember what it was like to only have an A-license. We have quite a few newbies, and quite a few coaches coming out to jump the caravan. In other words, we'll get you taken care of!"I don't know where it is that I'm going, but wherever it is there I'll be!" --quoted by me Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites sartre 0 #10 March 9, 2007 Now I've been told Calhan's closed again....is this true?

Glad I got to jump there once, but was looking forward to a lot more this spring/summer. Bummer...Burn the land and boil the sea, You can't take the sky from me.

I heard the same last weekend from a few Colorado jumpers. Has anyone heard the reason for the closing? _________________________________________ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites angrypeppers 1 #14 March 13, 2007 Nothing official, but I suspect that the seven or eight weekends of snowy weather with the Caravan coming on line at the same time didn't help much. Just crappy timing. Too bad they can't operate with just the 207.Burn the land and boil the sea, You can't take the sky from me.
