Winter Hot Air Balloon Rides   
(Last updated on March 02, 2008)

December - February we will fly passengers by special arrangement. Please give us a call if you are interested.

Winter Flying in a Hot Air Balloon offers some unique views and adventure. Many people are surprised that it actually gets warmer as we go up. Remember we are a body of air floating in a body of air, so there is no wind to chill you. Once we climb up to altitude, and the sun is shining on us, the suns radiant heat will warm us along with heat from our burners. We have flown at 11,800 feet in Park City, UT in just a long sleeve shirt and were very comfortable, an exception for sure however. We recommend for all winter Hot Air Balloon flights you come dressed as if you were going to take a seasonal walk on a park trail. Parka, gloves, hat and snow boots will be a must for everyone.
