MagicGuy 0 #1 November 6, 2006 So, here's a question for all of you skydivers that live where the weather gets cold and skydiving comes to a hault for the Winter. What the hell do you do to keep yourself sane?!? I don't know what I'm going to do when I can't jump every weekend. I've been getting depressed just thinking about it. Let's hear some ideas!

sartre 0 #3 November 6, 2006 Time for the wind tunnel...... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites MagicGuy 0 #4 November 6, 2006 Yeah, tunnel is cool and all.. actually have 15 minutes scheduled for this coming Friday. But, it's just not the same! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites RevJim 0 #5 November 6, 2006 Off season? Huh? I've been out for a bit with health issues, but now that they are pretty much resolved, I'm ready to come back, and lucky for me, the dz here is open year round. Central Wisconsin winter skydiving is coooool! Imagine being the first to drag a toe across a new 6 or 12 inches of snow! Sweet!It's your life, live it!
