At this time we have some problems to get approval for use of helicopter in kjerag from the government. We are expecting answer soon (two weeks?) As soon we have the answer we will announce the boogie on all the main websites with details, the dates we are planning to use helicopter is for 4 days from 16. of june throug 19. of june. We will not start any registering until we have the approval on the table. I`m sorry that we cant give you any clear answer before we have the approval.

When we open the register we will secure slots for the numbers of jumper we allowed to join the boogie. the only thing you need to do is to send us a e-mail to confirm you will arrive, and you will get a answer back that you have a secured slot.

when the helicopter is flying we have had jumpers to do 10 jumps in one day.

The helicopter will fly as long we have weather to jump and fly in.

With more than 70 jumpers we will have two helicopters to fly to reduce the waiting time.

We dont have anything to do with accommodation, so you must reservate accommodation throug the campground.

Hope these answers will help you out until further.

Stein Edvardsen

I disabled the poll part, because that looked like an accident.

Thanks for keeping us updated, Stein!

Hi everybody
I got a mail from the authorities yesterday where they say:

" The case is still under hearing, it is certain fundamental principle to clear before we can give you a written approval. Most likely you will get a permission on stated circumstances. You can make plans from that but take necessary reservation’s. We will be back with to you first week after Easter holidays"

This is what we have to work with so far. I’m not happy to open the register with these terms. But I will have a meeting with the SBK board to day on this matter. To me it looks like 80 % chance that the boogie will be approved, so you have to decide whether you will wait until after Easter to make reservations or not.
I’m sorry that we can’t give you a better answer at the time, hope you understand our situation on this case.

Stein :-)
