Lauterbrunnen. The valley in Switzerland.
You should ask her.

No, but, that's the beauty of skydiving, you always find something new to try in the air. The rush of skydiving isn't so much the fact that you're jumping out of an airplane, its the flying skills you're trying to learn on this jump. You're always finding new tasks to learn. After 44 years in the sport I'm still finding new stuff to try...it's the best sport in the world for that.

Just to be clear, there are a lot of BASE jumping spots, but there's also a helicopter and tandem school in the middle of the valley.

We've talked about fluid dynamics for a long time. And windtunnel testing. But for now, I jump the suit and know immediately if it needs changing, and I'm good at figuring out what the changes need to be. EDIT: spelling

It's a cold sport, you're going very fast through cold air. Unlike skiing, you're not jumping around, so it's better in the warmer climate. Phone your local dropzone and ask them if they're still jumping. But it's more enjoyable when it's warm of course.
