looking to head over to Washington state to do some skydiving from Abbotsford, BC...


any info appreciated

The DZ is indeed surviving with the owner of the airport running the operation now. The name has changed to Interstate Skydiving Club. They have a C-206 currently being worked on but there is a C-182 there right now. As a DZ it is finally becoming a DZ that has a student program and they have new facilities. There is a great vibe.. and the scenery of the North Puget Sound and the North Cascades National Park is just as stunning as it always has been.

The hours are currently from 9 AM to dusk on Sat and Sun, 5 PM to Dusk on Friday and Mondays

Currently they have 2 C-182 and a C-206. There will be a caravan in Sept that the Harvey's have bought.. but not yet.

SD Snohomish has a very active tandem program as well as student programs. Call the DZ and check how busy they are on a weekend.

Sheesh.. its about freaking time already... Sept... hmmmmmm




For all the kiddies out there thinking of starting their skydiving in WA....in our wet cloudy winters.


You MAY want to start with Static Line.. if you want to get your A license sooner.. rather than waiting for the weather and altitude to do AFF.....:):):)
