Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites CanuckInUSA 0 #10 December 27, 2005 QuoteAnd how much jumping have you been able to do in Colorado this December? I can't speak for this year since I no longer am there, but as a former resident of CO you'd be surprised how much jumping someone can do in that state during all months of the year. It's really not as cold as people think (even though I guess they have had some bad WX this year). But it's all cyclical. Pretty soon the good peeps of CO will be out and about on a January/February weekend wearing shorts and t-shirts. Now myself on the other hand (returning back to the great white north) haven't been doing much jumping at all. I'm in Vancouver BC which while not cold, does get rained on a lot during the winter months. There has been the odd weekend that I could have jumped here and missed out on, but for the most part it's been raining and cloudy most of the time and I've only made 8 skydives and 3 BASE jumps since I left CO two months ago. I miss the sun ... but at least it's not cold here ... but it's all good. I don't think there is a perfect place to be when it comes to the best skydiving location. I'm under the impression that San Diego may be the closest thing to the perfect location, but rest assured places like TX and CO are not bad places if you want to jump all 12 months of the year.
