German dropzones open in January

[jimmurt 0]

I'm going to be travelling a bit in southern Germany this month. A couple of the dropzones I contacted are closed until March. Does anyone know any DZs in southern Germany open in the next few weeks?

Thanks.

Try http://paranodon.de/ they regularly send out Emails when they do jump in the winter. I believe that is quite often.

If it does not cost anything you are the product.

Thanks, the email address on the Website doesn't seem to tbe working. They have a recent update on their Facebook page which indicates that they are jumping this weekend.

Hi

Right now the weather here in southern Bavaria is absolutely lousy...we just had a storm front going through and the next one has already been announced. A jump weekend in Switzerland that I was planning to attend got canceled for that reason. My home DZ is in general open all year round but only if:

-there is no to high snow on the runway
-the grass runway is not soaked (non re-enforced, 2ton limit)
-the weather is good
-a pilot is available and jumpers who want to jump
-it's Saturday or Sunday (non commercial club)

So that kind of narrows it down to very few selected days during the winter.
My club is http://www.lsg-burgheim.de/

cheers
Uwe
