kawisixer01 0 #1 August 2, 2011 Hello all, I am looking at relocating to Reno/Carson city and am curious if anyone knows if skydive Tahoe is still open. I thought I heard it had shut down, as I believe one of my local DZ's bought their old PAC. Anyone know for sure? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

zen_mtn_climber 0 #3 August 3, 2011 What nwflyer said . . There are a fair number of folk from Carson, Reno and Tahoe that regularly head down to skydance in davis. And myk christian tried to get a dz going in silver springs. Bad timing and luck seem to have scuttled that effort though as best I can tell "Whatever the future holds down the road, being true to yourself is something you won't ever regret doing.

dzjunky77 0 #4 August 3, 2011 Friend of mine was a TI there 3 years ago. They leased the Pac 750 down in CA. somewhere.......a gal that owns the Pac and flying that Pac still has it. But theres another guy that may open it back up the DZ with a C-182. Just second hand info. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dittodogg 0 #5 August 3, 2011 Loved my visits to Tahoe and Aja had a great PAC that she didnt mid whipping out even if the load wasnt full..... The airport folks there in Minden were douches to the skydivers. Scenery was awesome there hope someone gets another DZ going there.Team Dirty Sanchez #455, Muff Brother #4197, SCR #14847, DPH -8, Dude #5150 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kawisixer01 0 #6 August 4, 2011 Thats too bad to hear. I'm spoiled here where I live. I have at least three turbines and like six DZ's total within two hours drive where I live now. Having a decent DZ within a decent drive is a major factor in where I may relocate to. I think the Tahoe Pac is the one that East troy/Skydive milwaukee has. Hopefully there is enough drive in the area to get another DZ going. It's beautiful area. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
