Winter DZs near new york?

[CMiller 1]

I began AFF in the fall, with my most recent jump being in november. Does anybody know of any dropzones that do AFF in the winter, near the New York/Buffalo area? I'm looking for something within a 5 hour drive.

I found one in Ohio, Canton air sports, willing to do AFF and they've been pretty helpful. I am a bit nervous going to a new dropzone, out of state no less. Has anybody been to this dropzone? Would you recommend it?

Also, what things should I look for/check on when going to a new dropzone to jump?

Check out www.niagaraskydive.com. It is very close to Buffalo, they run all winter with a larger turbine plane, and you can save $ with the exchange!

If you've got to jump in the winter - just be like everyone else - suck it up, buy a plane ticket, take a week or two vacation and come to Florida. You can finish up your AFF in comfort - zip along to your A license and then go back to the cold north!
