The last jumps of the season came with views straight out of a postcard, golden leaves, calm skies, and snow-capped peaks framing every freefall. October reminded us why skydiving over Lake Chelan never loses its magic. As the season winds down, we’re thankful for everyone who joined us in the sky this year.
THROWBACK OCTOBER
Fall Flight Memories – 13th Annual Skyfest
The 13th Annual Skyfest gave us the kind of weekend that reminds everyone why this dropzone feels like home.
Jumpers from all over came to enjoy perfect weather, golden fall views, and that one-of-a-kind Chelan vibe, laid back on the ground, full throttle in freefall.
Between organized jumps, campfire stories, and the unbeatable sunsets over the lake, Skyfest 2025 closed out our season on the highest note possible. It wasn’t just an event, it was a reunion of friends, families, and flyers who make our community what it is.
Big thanks to everyone who joined the celebration and helped make the 13th Annual Skyfest another chapter of Chelan’s story in the sky.

Here’s one of our favorite reviews from this fall!
Had the best time skydiving with my friends! Huge thanks to my instructor Cain for making the experience safe and for patiently walking me through every step. He is great!!
We felt incredibly lucky to have unknowingly booked our jump during Northwest Sky Fest—it made the day even more special. The energy was amazing, surrounded by such a welcoming community of skydivers, smiles all around, and contagious excitement. It really helped boost our confidence and made the whole experience unforgettable! – Eva Gelman
