psipike02 0 #1 July 20, 2005 So right now I'm out in Colorado (loving it ) and jumping at Mile-Hi and I'm going to miss it alot when I have to go back to school for my final year before I move back out here for my job permanently.... But my question is, especially to those in Michigan near Tecumseh - I go to UofM - but to anyone up north, what do you guys do about jumping during winter. I can barely go 2 hours without thinking about or talking about skydiving, so i definately can't go like 6 months.....so yeah, what do you guys do in the winter....please tell me there is some way we can still get up....Puttin' some stank on it. ----Hellfish #707---- Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We jump all winter long, as long as the temperature is above 40 degrees. Except for New Years day, it could be 0 degrees and we would still jump. It is the best way to bring in the New Year!

Everything over -20°C (-4F) on exit is fine.For every complex problem there is an answer that is clear, simple, and wrong.

A full face helmut makes life a lot better in freefall. I dress in layers as I have found that the underarmor is too warm to pack in. Enjoy! Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, Shouting "...holy shit...what a ride!"
