murrays 0 #26 March 18, 2004 Quote Greenacres Washington?? Where's your PIG??? That is too funny...you had it coming! Josh, It's too bad I never saw your post until after you've returned home. The local skydivers would have introduced you to some tall cool ones at O'Shea's which is owned by one of our club members. Our club (Prairie Skymasters Parachute Club) is entering its' 28th year of operations and we will be flying (Cessna 182) very soon if the weather cooperates. If you come back in the warmer months be sure to bring your rig. We operate on the weekends in a town 1 hour northeast and a lot of the weeknights on a grass strip 10 minutes north of the city. We have turned out some fine skydivers over the years...2 for sure and maybe 3 that have competed in World Meets in RW and presently have two damn good swoopers (Jay Beavis and Collin Sinclair) here that competed at the World Cup of Canopy Piloting in Perris. Our student gear is all Cypres equipped and we have square reserves on all student rigs. Mains are Mantas mostly but we also have a Triathlon 190 and a Triathlon 175 in rigs for lighter jumpers and to help people jump smaller canopies before buying their first set of gear. We are also putting together a rig that will have a Triathlon 160 in it. Until a member has 50 jumps they pay $10 Canadian for gear rental. After that we expect them to buy their own gear and they pay $25 gear rental per jump. Our jumps rates are pretty reasonable compared to the rest of Canada...$22 to 9,500 feet. Saskatoon is a great little city...like Mark Harju says...even in the winter. I work across the street from the Bessborough and spend the occasional evening skating with my kids on the outdoor rink beside the Bess...a fine way to spend an evening. The South Saskatchewan River flows through the centre of the city. The riverbank on both sides is preserved as parkland and there are bike/hike/roller blade/cross country ski trails for about 20-30 km on each side of the river. Even in cold weather you can go for some nice walks where you are sheltered in the trees. It is also one of the sunniest places in Canada..if not the sunniest. Anyways, next time you're in town give us a call! I'm PM-ing you some phone numbers.

Casch 0 #31 March 18, 2004 Sounds awesome, I'll probably be in Skatoon again within the next couple weeks. Hah, I should have just stayed there...that drive is hell. I drove there and back non-stop while my mom feigned ill... When I drive back up there, I get to tack on an extra 5.5-6 hours because I'll be driving from Portland instead of Spokane I won't get to jump, no money, and I need retraining. But hanging out at the pub and meeting some new skydivers sounds like fun Thanks for the numbers, I'll keep ya informed as to when I'm up there next.
