One of our family members skydives here all the time and we've visited and met the owners, staff,…read moreand jumpers on many occasions. Our observation is that it's a well-run, thoughtful operation and feel he is always in safe hands! Retired husband & wife team founded and operate this drop zone. They maintain a very strict safety culture and employ highly experienced jump, packing staff and pilots. With three piston airplanes based on their private field and their highly active jump clientele, it is easy to find a lift. Quiet corner in the country far northwest of PIT Class B and away from YNG/BVI traffic patterns helps make this a safer airspace to transcend. Skydive Rick's is an excellent place for all parachute enthusiasts - from the newbie looking for a tandem jump to rookies wanting to learn more to highly experienced jumpers looking for international-level aerobatics.

So I went with my cousin and his girlfriend, and 3/3 of us have all agreed that thanks to our outstanding experience at Skydive Rick's, we cannot wait to go again! The experience itself was surreal, something you just have to do to understand how amazing and fun and awesome it was, but the staff here is what I think really helped the experience be the best it could be! The staff were all very friendly and knowledgable, you could tell they knew exactly what they were doing, and while they took their jobs very seriously, they knew how to incorperate elements of fun and light-heartedness into it, which was nice, because without those elements I probably would have chickened out haha. This place gets a 100% solid reccomendation from this Yelper!

Over the last several years I have visited Seven Springs a couple of times to use extra days I had…read moreon my Epic Day pass. Seven Springs is about a 3 hour drive each way for me. Getting to the resort is reasonable and while the parking is mostly free each time I have ended up parking in the East Lot which results in a long walk through the Main Lodge and then to the Ski Lodge; not a lot of fun in full ski gear and carrying my skis. Both of my trips were in early spring so the ski conditions were ok, but not great. The slopes had decent snow coverage but there were large stretches of dirt between the slopes. Seven Springs has a good lift system that gets you up the hill and to the slopes efficiently. The slopes near the Ski Lodge are a bit shorter and generally easier. The North Face slopes are a bit longer and more challenging. The general feeling at Seven Springs is that the slopes are very wide open with not a lot of trees near the slopes. Seven Springs is a decent place to ski, however I find that it is not really challenging or charming. From what I have heard it is a great place for families to have a ski vacation as the lodge is slopeside and there is plenty of family friendly activities available. For a one day trip it is just ok, but I would only go there if I need to use up a ski day on the Epic Pass. Of course if it was closer to me it would be more appealing, also I would expect that if the snow coverage is good it would also be more fun. With all that said a day skiing is still a great day, for me there are better options for skiing about the same distance away.

This place is massive and somewhat overwhelming for beginners. And the Friday after New Years it…read morewas packed! Too many people if you ask me. I'm talking no where to sit inside - people were eating on the floor!! No thanks. Long lift lines too, and 1/2 weren't operational. I felt like the trails weren't marked well after getting off the lifts, but maybe I just missed them.
