Anyone know a good place to go jump (relatively cheap) for a few weeks during December?

Hiya,

I`m from around Vancouver BC.. I`m looking for a decent, cost-efficient place to jump during this asshole cold weather coming soon... planning on taking a vacation in december, someplace warm around that time, with high jumps and people to jump with.
Anyone got any suggestions?

Thanks,

Mitch

Sebastian and Z-hills in FL both have boogies going on during Christmas/New Year's time. You could also hit up about 5 other dz's and the tunnel if you're here for a couple of weeks.

Since you're from Canada, I'm sure you'd find the temps fine for camping, which would keep your costs down. The jump prices are about $20-$22 down here. Florida's temps are definitely still considered mild in December. I can remember many a Christmas that has been around 80 degrees for the high.

I`ll have to look in to that! I`m trying to plan in advance. As for temps go.. I usually have shorts and a t-shirt when it's snowing out here, so i`ll be fine :)
And the canadian dollar is looking mighty fine.. I hope it stays that way for a bit!

Hey Mitch,

I think you'd be hard pressed to find a DZ with cheaper jump tickets then Skydive Suffolk in Va. Our costs are (and listen carefully) $20 for the first 5 jumps of the day, THEN $12 for every subsequent jump of the day. If you do 10 jumps in one day, it will cost you $160 (or $16 per jump). We fly a PAC 750 that will get you to 14k in 9-10 minutes and can fly it with 7 jumpers, turn around with 5.

Let me know if you need a place to crash when you come visit,

Lodi California has $15 jumps to 13K and a block of 50 is $650. Open every day flying either beech 99, Otter or KA. NorCal weather tends to be *decent* during that time. But not as warm as AZ, SoCal or FL. They have a bunkhouse as well. Check for availability of a room. Number of upjumpers can vary widely.

50 donations so far. Give it a try.

I can't think of any decent, cost efficient drop zones that are warm with high jumps and people to jump with. Sorry.
