I went there for a skydiving competition and I was very impressed with their facilities and professionalism. I highly recommend anyone that is in their area should check it out! -
I jumped at Skydive Kapowsin while in on a business trip. The people are super friendly and the vibe is great overall. People were helpful from my arrival and I immediately got on some 10 ways. The views from up top are beautiful and scenic! They are based out of a huge hanger. Lots of packing space and a huge landing area. There is an onsite ATM and a snack bar (cash only). Cheeto was organizing and I was welcomed to jump on some 10 ways. They have a huge, fully stocked beer fridge. I was a little surprised at how lax they were though. No calls for the loads, no 2 min warning. Manifesting was signing up on a piece of paper on a clipboard. No red light; just cut and go without checking the spot. Still, I would jump there again in heart beat and I really recommend it. -
I jumped here for the summer of 2008, and it was a struggle for me to keep going. Every weekend I went, people are bullied and ridiculed if they have less than 5000 jumps. I have since stopped going there and I don't regret that decision at all. Most of the people there are cool, but many staff members are egotistical skygods who soak you for every penny you got. A reserve repack takes 2 weeks. It's a total tandem factory and many instructors treat their students very poorly. There is a particular instructor who can't keep his hands to himself and makes uninvited advances to all of the women there. Students have complained but of course nothing changes. If you make a mistake, it's a chance for the skygods to let you know who's boss, rather than helping you learn more about the sport and help you become a better skydiver. I'm not alone in feeling this way; many people, even other staff members feel this way, yet nothing is done. I would not recommend going to this place.
