Since I grew up on this DZ, I'm a little partial to it. Ralph and the gang are like my family. I hear that the crowd is building back up to where it was in the 80's. Not one of those DZ's where you feel lost in the crowd. You'll learn more from Ralph than any hotshot instructor. This guy is an original freefall expert. Plus, any type of gear you're looking for, he's got it. And for less than everyone else. Like I said, it's like a home to me, and for good reason. Good people, good vibes, laid back atmosphere, no real skygods to deal with. Oh, and Mt. Hood is just to the east. Beautiful location!! The Beaver jump plane is something to experience. Just southeast of Portland, this is a hidden treasure. Feel free to experience an original scene without the club pressure and see why I say this is the best place to jump in Oregon.
