Hi,

Just looking for some info on terminal jumps for the month of december, my work rotation has me off for the month of december and I would love to get some more ts & ws jumps in as i wont have another chance till june 2017.

Im not tracking or flying ws at a high level, 2016 being my first season doing terminal so anything with beginer exits would be what im looking at.

I know europe has snow in december @ the popular exits and im not sure about jumping conditions ect so any info on europe or anywhere else would be great

Not fussed about traveling as its the last chance im getting to jump for a while, just want to get some jumps in.

Board replies or pm welcome ^_^

Thanks in advance

If you cant track and you have limited terminal experience, why would you want to fly wingsuits?

Is here any locals from italy? Is cima capi, casale and other exits around brento available in december/january?

+1000

If it's you first season doing terminal, why not settle with Brento there hot shot?

Of course, and with 3ft+ of snow, even the nicest beginner exit will become advanced enough for your radness! Good luck!

Thats why im asking. Ive only been there in september. I have no clue if theres alot of snow or not during that time.

Have you read this? http://topgunbase.ws/...ke-up-in-a-hospital/?

There is a guy who was into his second season, going hard on WS and crashed with nothing out into the trees and survived. Lucky f*cker. I know you were asking for beginner exits (good for you!) but is this story ringing any bells to you?

Rich asks a legit question on the article : My personal recommendation is to hold EXPERT status in 1) Skydiving, 2) Basejumping, and 3) Wingsuit Skydiving, prior to your first WS basejump. How would you rate yourself in these 3 categories when you started WS BASE?

What would you answer to this? As the question is coming from highly experienced and technically advanced WS pilot (Rich, not me), if you feel his recommendation is not valid, why do you feel so? And if you think Rich is right, maybe then leave the WS to the closet for a season or two and learn to hold EXPERT status in the things mentioned above first?

But it wont happen to me, I am holiday nothing ever goes wrong on holidays

Yosemite Valley, California is awesome twelve months of the year. It is , after all, California.

Sorry but all of this is off-topic and none of it is any of your effing business. He asked for weather conditions and what beginner-exit terminal walls are available in December in Europe.

The extrapolations, insinuations and assumption trees you and the rest of the scolds on this thread hallucinated out of the thin air between your ears are amusing but...off-base... and the most glaring reason therefor is that the vast majority of the 30+ body count this year alone are wing gods who far exceeded all of your superciliously silly criteria and died anyway because good jump numbers and good judgment are independent vectors.

You´re absolutely correct, none of this really is none of my effing business. That goes actually to vast majority of stuff that gets written to this website and to vast majority of websites around the world. So if you want to have an answer to your question from the people who´s effing business it actually is, ask from your mentor or from all of the trustworthy experienced jumpers in your region and not from some random dudes from the internets. And if you´re only after some weather data, there are tons of way more trustworthy weather data sources in the internet than the random dudes in some effing BASE board. Just google for "snow history Italy" and take it from there.

But sorry to say but none of this is none of YOUR effin business either. Unless of course you´re his dad or his big brother and feel that his sensitive feelings have been hurt because some random guys did not give him the answer he wanted to have.

Hahhahahahahhahahhaa This comment made my day (and I just woke up ) hahahhaha

maybe part of it is we don't know who half of the idiots are that comment. Maybe we should have real names with user id then we know who we are talking to.

You've been banned for 11 minutes for stating the obvious. Please refrain from making post that are not either mocking the op or the responses to the op in the future.

For Brento it depends on the year, sometimes snow, sometimes not. You can still jump with snow, just means doing the 'old hike' from San Giovanni. First time is work, once the path is in quite easy. Exit cleans after a day or two, salt also useful.

so now he has time to take a shit and come back and post again.

Back to the topic. If you are willing to travel there are some cliffs in South Africa, Brazil and Madagascar. Beginner cliffs too.

if you get your gear dirty,, he can show you how to wash it too

Depends on your luck.
The best spot to bet back into BASE after a pause for sure is Brento, and all the jumps around after.
I was there in January last year and there was no snow at all.
Maybe you will have the same luck this year :D
