Skydiving FAQs

What does it cost to go skydiving?

The cost of a skydiving experience depends on a few factors, including what day of the week and time you go, the experience you want, and if you want to add photo/video. Take a look at our Pricing Page for all pricing & package information!

Why is Skydiving so expensive?

We get it, it’s not pocket change. But skydiving isn’t your average weekend activity. You’re hitching a ride in a specially outfitted aircraft, flying thousands of feet above the earth, and jumping out strapped to a highly trained professional with gear that costs more than most used cars. Add in certified instructors, maintenance, fuel, licensing, inspections, parachute rigs, and years of experience… and, yeah… it adds up.

Think of it like this: it’s the most thrilling half of a domestic flight you’ll ever take, but instead of landing in a new city, you land in a feeling of adrenaline, pure joy, and total “aliveness”. The kind that shakes you awake in the best way, that sticks with you long after your feet touch the ground.

Don’t think it’s worth it? Just read our reviews. It’s not cheap, but it is unforgettable. And honestly? That kind of feeling is priceless.

Can I get a better price at another dropzone?

In this area? Probably not. It does depend on the day of week, time, and other factors (each dropzone structures their pricing differently), but skydiving at any of the dropzones in the Salt Lake City area will cost you pretty much the same. The only question is what kind of experience, view, and video you’re going to get with that money… and we think ours is the best! (Obviously).

What happens if there’s inclement weather?

Due to FAA restrictions, skydiving can only take place in clear skies. Clouds, rain, and wind may cause delays. We will do the best we can to call you in advance if your jump needs to be delayed, but it’s always a good idea to call us before making the drive out, especially if you’re traveling a long distance. 

What do you consider “inclement weather”?

Safety is our top priority, and skydiving is a weather-dependent activity that must follow strict FAA regulations. "Inclement weather" refers to any conditions that make it unsafe to jump, including (but not limited to):

• Heavy Clouds: FAA regulations prohibit skydivers from exiting the aircraft through clouds. If the cloud cover prevents instructors from seeing the ground from jump altitude, we must delay or cancel operations.
  
• Rain: While it might seem like a light drizzle wouldn't hurt, rain at 120 mph can feel like getting pelted by gravel. Not only is it painful, but it can also damage gear and impair visibility. For your safety and comfort, we do not operate in the rain.
  
• Wind: Gusty or high winds can create unsafe skydiving and landing conditions. Even if it doesn’t feel super windy on the ground, the winds at higher altitudes can be completely different from what you’re feeling at the dropzone. If winds exceed safe limits, we will pause operations and reschedule your skydive if need be.

If you're ever unsure about the weather, we highly recommend giving us a call before heading out, especially if you're traveling a long distance. Our staff monitors conditions closely and will give you the best estimate on jumping conditions. 

Can I reschedule my skydive, or cancel & get a refund?

We get that life happens. If you need to reschedule, just give us a call at least 24 hours in advance and we’ll happily move your jump to a new day. If you cancel more than 24 hours ahead of time, we’ll refund everything except your deposit. 

Why’s the deposit non-refundable? That spot you reserved comes with real costs on our end, staffing, aircraft prep, gear planning, etc… so we hang onto the deposit to help cover that. But we’ll always do our best to work with you if plans change!

If your skydive gets canceled due to weather, you won’t lose your deposit, we’ll just get you rebooked for a better day.
