tyro 0 #1 July 18, 2012 Northeastern US people, where is the best place to jump in the winter where you can still get in some heavy number of jumps? Cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
excaza 1 #2 July 18, 2012 Arizona, Florida, or SoCal would probably be your best bets. I believe there's a group in CT that jumps year round as well, but I'm not sure. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DougH 270 #3 July 18, 2012 In the northeast? We jump every weekend during the winter here in CT. I haven't been able to go in three years but I loved going to Eloy around Xmas and New Years for their holiday boogie."The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DougH 270 #5 July 18, 2012 You were on point. CPI in Ellington CT is the club that is open year round.www.skydivect.com For the past few years Jumptown has mostly shut down for the winter. I don't know about Pepperel or any of the ME dropzones."The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
milehigheric 0 #7 July 19, 2012 How do you guys deal with the cold? I struggle on early morning loads in the winter here in Australia. Winter for us is still at least 15 degrees + (60ish F) in the mornings. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tyro 0 #15 July 21, 2012 Any tips on the Carolinas? I'm ideally looking for something that's cheapish to get to from nyc but still decent size where you could do 5-10 jumps/day on the weekend. Kudos for the Connecticut thoughts btw :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Southern_Man 0 #17 July 21, 2012 Skydive Carolina in Chester is also very nice to jump at. It was quite warm when I jumped there, I believe in November. I think they continue to jump at a good rate all winter."What if there were no hypothetical questions?" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
