season open

Soon after November 4th, Old Man Winter squeezed the warmth and joy out of the Midwest with his cold, oppressive fingers, exiling us to the ground. Some chose to rebel and jumped anyway but were readily inflicted with pain via frozen hands and shrunken... body parts. Well, winter is sort of over - so join us opening weekend to jump the new otter! We promise a slightly more enjoyable experience than if you jumped in January.

Start time for fun jumpers: 10:30 am, doors open at 9:30 am
More details TBA at Safety Day

Pot luck Saturday night. Bring an appetizer, entree, dessert, or beer to share. Especially beer. Tell us what you're bringing on the Facebook event.





100 jumps @ $21/jump = $2100
75 jumps @ $22/jump = $1650

These prices are only valid until April 15th, 2013. Please call the dropzone, visit us, or come to Safety Day to make your purchase.

Don't miss out...This is like a (jet fuel) fire sale! Contact Colleen (colleen@skydivemidwest.com) for more information.

Start saving your footage for the the SDMW Video Contest in November.

$500 goes to the best video. If you don't plan on making a video or are feeling generous (especially to those not experienced enough to jump with a camera), we encourage you to share footage on our Facebook. More info to come!
