Dropzones on the way from Reno to San Fran

[crazydiver 0]

I am going to be in Reno over new years for about a week. A friend and I were also planning to skip over to San Francisco for a day or two. Are there any dropzones open and jumping on the way from Reno to San Fran between the 30th of December and the 5th of January? Thanks for any help friends.

Cheers,
Travis

You'll be driving by SkyDance in Davis, CA.

Do you know if they will be open then? I dont even know if northern California will be good weather that time of year. Maybe it wont even be jumpable.

Cheers,
Travis

Lodi is open every day. If it's even marginal, they'll be jumping. They are south of Sacramento on 99..

From Reno, Davis, Lodi, and Byron are all pretty much "on the way" Davis is right off of highway 80, Lodi is on 99 and Byron is off of 4 or 680 (580?).

Byron is closed Christmas to New Year's but if it's not raining or blowing over 28mph, we're jumping at Byron Wednesday through Sunda. All of the mentioned DZ'z are usually Cessna (182's at Davis and Lodi, a 206 at Byron) during the week, with turbines on the weekend. Lodi has an Otter and a Beech 18, Davis has the new PAC 750, and we have a KingAir at Byron.

If you choose to drop by Byron, please say Hi!

I live in Nor Cal, and I don't even know if it's jumpable from day to day.

When it's bad, it's really bad in the winter. When the skies clear, it's awesome.

Yesterday was perfect. Today was foggy until a few minutes ago. Now it rocks!
