About Wyoming

Wyoming skydiving is defined by scale. From altitude the high plains and Rocky Mountain foothills run out farther than the eye can hold: the Bighorn Mountains standing to the north, the far peaks of the Grand Tetons off to the west, and a sea of sagebrush steppe rolling between them. The state's thin population leaves the airspace wide open and uncluttered, which makes for calm, unhurried jumps for first-time tandem students and seasoned fun-jumpers alike, all of it over country that still reads as frontier.

A first tandem here comes with an outsized backdrop. Freefall over the Laramie Range or the plains near Cheyenne is magnified by the raw size of the ground below. AFF students get the benefit of uncrowded skies and room to focus on their progression. Drop zones tend to be owner-operated, which builds a close-knit scene where safety and one-on-one instruction come standard, a good place to learn and to keep climbing the ladder.

There are fewer places to jump in Wyoming than in busier states, but the trade is quality for quantity. Drop zones are sited to cash in on the scenery, from mountain ranges to the strange sculpted rock of the badlands. The season answers to Wyoming's often-difficult weather, running from late spring into early fall. When the window opens and the conditions line up, though, the jumping is about as good as it gets over the Cowboy State.

Confirm current requirements with the agency that sets them before your trip. Rules and fees change every season.

Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Requirements
All skydiving operations in Wyoming, like elsewhere in the U.S., must adhere to strict FAA regulations (Part 105). This covers aircraft maintenance, pilot licensing, airspace usage, and general safety protocols for parachuting activities. Visitors should understand that their chosen drop zone operates under these federal mandates.
United States Parachute Association (USPA) Guidelines
While not a government regulation, most reputable drop zones in Wyoming operate under USPA safety guidelines. Licensed jumpers are typically required to hold current USPA membership and adhere to its Basic Safety Requirements (BSRs). Tandem and AFF students also follow curricula approved by USPA.
Drop Zone Specific Operational Rules
Beyond federal and organizational guidelines, each individual drop zone in Wyoming establishes its own specific operational rules and safety procedures. These cover everything from manifest procedures and gear checks to landing patterns and emergency protocols. All participants, whether tandem students or licensed jumpers, must comply with the specific rules of the drop zone they are visiting.

01What kind of views can I expect when skydiving in Wyoming?

Big, open country. Depending on the drop zone, you might see distant ranges like the Bighorns or Laramie Mountains, sprawling high plains, unusual rock formations, and the huge clear skies the state is known for. The sheer scale of the terrain is what sets it apart.

02Is skydiving in Wyoming safe?

It's an adventure sport with real risk, but Wyoming drop zones run under strict FAA regulations and typically follow USPA safety guidelines. Gear is meticulously maintained, instructors are experienced and certified, and following every instruction goes a long way toward a safe jump.

03What happens if the weather is bad on my scheduled jump day?

Jumping is highly weather-dependent. If high winds, heavy cloud, rain, or snow make it unsafe, your skydive gets rescheduled. Drop zones put safety first and try to flag any cancellation or delay as early as they can. Call ahead if the forecast worries you.

04Do I need any special training or experience for a tandem skydive?

None. You'll get a brief ground orientation on safety and what to expect, then your certified tandem instructor handles all the technical work, leaving you to take in the whole thing with almost no preparation.

05Can I bring my own camera to record my skydive?

For safety, tandem and AFF students generally can't bring their own cameras, loose items are a freefall hazard. Most drop zones offer professional video and photo packages, shot by an instructor or a separate camera flyer.

06How long does the entire skydiving experience take?

The skydive itself (plane ride, freefall, canopy), runs about 20 to 30 minutes, but the whole visit takes several hours once you add check-in, waivers, ground training, weather waits, and aircraft availability. Plan on half a day or more, especially when it's busy.
