skyyhi 0 #4 January 26, 2004 I personally prefer Elsinore. . .two Otters and lots of fun and great people. . .Of course, there is also Perris and San Diego all within an hour of each other and all with turbines. . .so if you have crappy weather at one, just check out the others. . .the weather can vary greatly among the three but they are all open every day and have some pretty great people that hang there.________________________________________ Take risks not to escape life… but to prevent life from escaping. ~ A bumper sticker at the DZ FGF #6 Darcy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AggieDave 6 #5 January 26, 2004 If you don't mind heat in the summer, then Eloy would probably be a good bet. Either that or Perris or 'Snore, due to the climate. You'd probably have less rain out days in Eloy then you would anywhere else.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

Pitt Meadows supposedly has the best weather of any Canadian DZ and I have not jumped since late November. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jverley 1 #9 January 26, 2004 Quote...open 7 days a week. Eloy is open 7 days a week most of the year but it is closed Tuesday and Wednesdays during June-September. But for flying weather you are correct, they probably fly more days than any other DZ.John Arizona Hiking Trails Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flyangel2 2 #10 January 26, 2004 What about that "haze" that keeps you grounded for most of the mornings? I don't know if there is a perfect DZ with perfect weather year round. Just buy an R.V. and when the weather isn't what you like, jump in and drive some place else. Spend some time there, then go to another DZ.May your trails be crooked, winding, lonesome, dangerous, leading to the most amazing view.

airgord 1 #11 January 26, 2004 That's a great plan. I commuted between Eloy and my old home DZ in Oregon for the summer on the Soutwest Airlines frequent flyer plan, it worked well as my 4 way team trained once a month for a week and I worked @ the OR. DZ the rest of the month. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lifesatrip 0 #15 January 27, 2004 In Ontario, I would have to say Parachute School of Toronto. This is because we are crazy and jump all year round. There is not to many weekends that we don't jump and it is never cause we don't have enough jumpers. It can be really fucking cold and we will still jump.

xavenger 0 #16 January 27, 2004 Ok well you didn't say where in the world - so how about Skydive Lillo - about 1 hour south of Madrid in Spain. Beautiful porter, great weather most of the year round. The time I was there a few months ago they would take the porter up with only 4 people! Talk about a fast climb :-) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skyyhi 0 #17 January 27, 2004 That happens during late May and most of June, but at least the afternoons are still open to jumping. . .hey, on Saturday (a cloudy - icky - rainy day) we still managed to get 7 loads up and only 2 didn't get to altitude, tho they were high hop n pops. . .8K on one and 6k on the other. If they can sneak a plane into a hole, they will. . .I am sure Perris and San Diego are similar and all three are open 7 days.________________________________________ Take risks not to escape life… but to prevent life from escaping. ~ A bumper sticker at the DZ FGF #6 Darcy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skydiver_33460 0 #20 January 28, 2004 The best weather and view is Skydive SOBE. Lake Okeechobee; The second largest us lake not bordered by a foreign country, has it's own weather system. The wind coming off the lake keeps it cloud free. very rarely will you be weathered out...It's also the most scenic, Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Amazon 7 #22 January 28, 2004 Quote...It's also the most scenic, BWAHAHAHAHA you need to travel some more... jumping at the foot of the North Cascades( the American Alps/Puget Sound/Straits of Juan De Fuca Olympic Mountains on the other side sucks in the winter time when its cloudy but you have to see it up here in Seattle area or Vancouver or Victoria to reaallly know what scenery is. Puget Sound is a huge system of glacial fiords with the 7000' Olympic Mountains to the west and the 10000 to 14000 ft snow covered Cascade Mountains to the East. From June to mid Oct... its like no place else. From Mid Oct to Mid June there are some days that get clear and beautiful but for the most part the Pacific Ocean just throws rain and clouds at us one system after another all winter long.
