We Are Back! Skydiving Season is Here!

Table of Contents

Winter may have been slower, but we never stopped moving. Now, skydiving season is officially here, and we are opening March 6. 

That date marks the return of tandems, fun jumpers, and a full lineup of events to reconnect with our community and welcome students back into the sky.

We’re ready for longer days, full planes, and that feeling you only get when jump season is in full swing.

Winter Send-it Weekend

During our winter schedule, we had the opportunity to skydive and operate over the weekend of February 6–8. We had a blast and it was a great way to ease back into the rhythm as we get ready for the season to really start.

Fun Jumper Day – March 5th

On March 5, fun jumpers are welcome to join us for fun jumps the day before we officially open for tandems. 

Without you, skydiving just is not the same. So this is our way of paying it forward before the season opens with tandems. Catch up with fellow jumpers and feel that crisp, freezing air on your cheeks. You know you have missed it. We definitely have.

Please note: No tandem jumps will be available that day.

Back in Full Swing March 6

Finally, our winter schedule is over. Gear up and come fly with us. You have waited all winter, and so have we. Skydiving season is finally here.

We are fully open and back in action from Thursday through Sunday.

March 8 USPA B-License Water Training

On March 8, we are hosting the USPA Water Training Course, a mandatory requirement for anyone working toward their USPA B License. This hands-on pool session covers the critical skills and knowledge needed to safely manage both intentional and accidental water landings.

Participants will learn proper equipment considerations and management, water entry procedures, survival and self-rescue techniques, and safety protocols for both water and land recovery. The course fee is $50 unless you are enrolled in our Zero to Hero program.

Please arrive on time, ready to participate, and bring clothes that can get wet. This training is great for building confidence and safety around water landings.

March 14 USPA Safety Day

On March 14, join us for USPA Safety Day as we kick off the upcoming jump season.

Our instructors will review essential topics to help you refresh your skills, sharpen your awareness, and jump safely. Among the topics you’ll find: skydiving safety fundamentals, emergency procedures, gear checks and equipment considerations, canopy control and landing safety, aircraft safety, and more.

Newer jumpers and seasoned skydivers alike are welcome. This is a great opportunity to ask questions, review best practices, and start the season feeling confident and prepared.

In a sport like ours, safety always comes first. That is why we start the season with this important and impactful day.

Nothing humbles you like jumping out of a plane at 13,000 feet and realizing your instructor is way cooler than you’ll ever be. The staff was amazing, the vibes were top-tier, and I’ll definitely be back to do it again”.

See You Soon

Skydiving season is just days away, and we cannot wait to get back in the air with you. Fun jumpers, we expect to see you on March 5 to kick things off together. Ready to experience your first tandem or come back for another? Booking opens March 6 and we are ready for you.

Let’s make this season unforgettable.
