They put us at ease since we were both nervous about our first jump. We felt totally safe, they provided excellent instructions that were clear and easy to follow. It was an exilerating experience and I highly recommend!!!

I even compared my videos from my other slydive and I can't believe the difference as far as the scenic view. Definitely will be going back and I highly recommend this place, specially to those who are specifically searching for the most beautiful view.

Went skydiving at this place 11 years ago. Bit of a crude set up, but felt confident skydiving upon…read moremeeting the staff and my tandem partner. Fast forward to this year. Booked four 18 year old best friends to jump before they all leave for college in different states. Showed up the first day (45 minutes away) just to be told the visibility was too poor to jump. Of course, safety is most important, but why didn't they call out cell phone to let us know before we drove all of the way out there in a total of 3 vehicles? I asked if they had my cell number and they replied that they did and read it out loud. Rescheduled for 1.5 weeks later. Same exact thing happened. Here's the kicker...the image here shows the sky. 1- why didn't they call us to let us k or they are cancelling. 2- seven people (jumpers and parents) took time off from work a second time. 3- I called several times as well as others in our group to confirm all day long do we wouldn't have a repeat. They had our numbers and never called to save us time on the road. Again safety is first! But there was a jump right before we arrived and they were loading the plane with others as we were leaving. Probably for the best. Sketchy set up. Unprofessional, questionable staff. We will have to try again next summer when the guys are all back from school...but we will bring our $2k for jumps and video elsewhere.

I've skydived and zip lined, parasailed and gone gliding so I was a little unsure if it was going to feel like someone my grandmother would enjoy- it was a blast. We met Chris and his father in Quechee green and then actually got to help them set up the balloon which was awesome. We are both very hands on people so we really enjoyed getting to lend a hand in the process and see how it's done. We took off over the absolutely beautiful town of quechee- stunning. Chris was a GREAT pilot and really knowledgable about his trade. He was very interesting to talk to. He actually recommended a winter time flight- who knew?! i didn't realize hot air balloons went up in winter. The three of us chatted (my boyfriend and I in awe of the beauty and height) the entire time. We were able to spot some wildlife in the fields below and then we touched down in the yard of this amazing Swedish couple who invited the then 4 of us (his father met us at the landing site to pack up) up to their house for a glass of wine. It really couldn't have been a more perfect ending to a fabulous ride. Two thumbs up for Green Mountain Ballooning. Thanks for an awesome time Chris!!

Morningside started out as a hang gliding and paragliding school many years ago, although they're…read morenow branching out into other areas as well. The site was purchased by Kitty Hawk Kites of North Carolina last summer with the passing of the previous owner, and the new owners have done a great job with improving the hangar/shop area and making it a welcoming place for prospective pilots. Although I can only speak to the paragliding program, Morningside also teaches hang gliding and provides tandem hang gliding flights using an ultralight aircraft for towing. They are in the process of installing zip lines and appear to have other activities planned in the near future as well (including kayaking, laser tag, etc.). The training area for both hang gliders and paragliders consists of a large hill approximately 450 feet high, though training is primarily conducted on the lower portion, up to around 150 feet (with progressively higher flights as you improve). The two paragliding instructors, Heath and Joe, are excellent instructors with lots of experience, and are effective teachers. They stress the importance of safety and good technique, which is extremely important in a sport such as this. Lessons start right around 9:00am, and vary considerably in length based on the weather; strong wind and turbulent conditions are unsafe to fly in, especially for beginners, so often there will be a long lunch break, with lessons resumed later in the day after the peak heating (which can cause turbulence) is over. I would highly recommend the P1 program (6 lessons) to anybody who is seriously interested in learning to paraglide... though note that a P1 rating is a beginning rating and you are still required to fly under the supervision of an instructor after obtaining it, so you'll probably want to pursue further instruction after that. Morningside does not list higher ratings on their website, but the instructors seem to be happy to work with you on them once you have completed the P1 (there are some additional costs and you are typically expected to have purchased your own gear at that point). Overall, it's a great experience that seems to be getting even better with time, and a beautiful location; if you're nearby or going to be in the area for an extended time, it's a great place to visit and experience flight in a way that relatively few people ever do.
