ITW season
When does the season at ITW usually end? What's the weather like in later September, in October, November?

It's open year round. The Ora wind is less in Oktober - Feb. Hope this helps.
Take care,

Re: [yuri_base] ITW season
I went mid-September last year and managed 3 jumps a day; you just have to be up very early to be on the exit point at first light for the first of 2 jumps in the morning (account for 45 min taxi ride + 1 hr hike, or thereabouts, i.e. getting up around 4am, if not before). The Ora wind always made the site unjumpable after 11:30am / midday the times I've been there: it can easily gust >25mph so don't push it! The afternoon is generally a good time to catch up on sleep until 5pm, when (hopefully!) the winds are coming down and it's time to go for the evening load to jump around 7pm.

Everyone I know that's been in October had good weather.

Have a good time!
