ASTKU 1 #2 November 10, 2008 I would really like to know the answer to these questions as well..... I am moving to SoCal in a couple months and wanted to stop there on my way down.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mr_music11 0 #3 November 10, 2008 Lodi is a blast.. and although I would say its "chilly", my fellow jumpers in the mid west and north west states would call me a wuss! as there is no snow on the ground at any time! temps at night can drop down to the mid 30's.. nothing that a tent/sleeping bag wont handle! Daytime temps usually 50's to mid 60's on the ground. Also, ususally sunny with some clouds. Light to moderate winds usually out of the west. Number of jumps will obviously be dictated by the number of people @the DZ on any given day. Fri>Sun are more busy than the rest of the week. Sat and Sun you should be able to jump to your hearts content, but dont count on Bill runnin' things all the way up to sunset if the loads arent there! Rocklin,CA and Davis/skydance are other good places not too far from there and also GREAT! places to jump.. nice views of Sacramento, lake barryessa. I enjoy them. Open year round, filled with lots of friendly fun folks! Hope to see you there! Until then... blue skies!If flying is piloting a plane.. then swimming is driving a boat. I know why birds sing.. I skydive. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Elisha 1 #4 November 11, 2008 Hmmmm....don't think you can see Lake Berryessa from the plane at Lodi. Davis, yes, but not Lodi...but I digress. What mr_music11 said...just adding that if the weather is jumpable, then planes should be running whatever the day. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
taz9420 0 #5 November 17, 2008 I jumped at Lodi (Parachute Center) from 2004-2008. I would recommend it for winter jumping. The weather, during the season, is a little unpredictable (can get a little chilly and rainy now and then) but it should fit your needs. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
