At Skydive Saratoga in Gansevoort, NY, there’s a lot to love about tandem skydiving: the airplane ride, the rush of freefall, and that first look at the Adirondacks under canopy. As October winds down, we’re looking back on the moments we shared this season and getting ready for a little holiday excitement.
October at Skydive Saratoga: Moments Worth Remembering

One of our favorite things about running our drop zone is getting to be there for the whole story. We see the nerves at check-in, the questions before boarding, and the smile that arrives a moment after landing. Sometimes the person who needed the most convincing is already talking about coming back.
We’re grateful to everyone who made the trip to Gansevoort this season. Our family and crew get to share this experience with you, and that still means a lot.
Curious about your first jump? Take a look at what a tandem skydive involves before choosing your day.
Our Biggest Black Friday Deal Ever Is Coming
We’re dropping our biggest deal ever for Black Friday this year at Skydive Saratoga! If there’s someone you’ve been wanting to surprise with their first tandem skydive, or you’re already dreaming about another jump when the season returns, this is your opportunity.
Make sure you’re subscribed to our newsletter so you don’t miss the announcement. We’ll reveal the details as Black Friday gets closer, and you won’t want to miss this one!
Skydiving Gift Certificates for the Next Adventure
A gift certificate might not make much noise when it’s opened, but the day it’s used is another story. There’s the drive to Gansevoort, the scenic climb over the Lake George area, and that quiet moment under parachute when the world looks completely different.
Skydive Saratoga gift certificates are transferable and valid for five years from purchase, giving the recipient time to choose their day. That’s especially handy as we move out of our May-to-October jumping season.
What Our Jumpers Say About Skydive Saratoga

Sometimes the best way to explain a tandem skydive is to hear it from someone who just did it. We loved the enthusiasm in Autumn Wescott’s review:
Loved, loved, LOVED, this experience! Thankful for my cousin for inviting me to tag along and thankful for the team for giving me a safe/thrilling experience! Loved Iain as my jumper, definitely a great person to jump with but loved everyone over all! Definitely the first time yall saw me, but ik for sure it won’t be your last!
Have Your Own Story to Share?
If you’ve jumped with us, we’d love to hear what the day was like for you. A few words from someone who’s actually been in the plane can mean a lot to the person still deciding whether to go.
The Memories Stay With Us
The conversations at the drop zone are some of the best parts of our year. Thanks for bringing yours to us. Whether you’re waiting for your first jump or planning to give one to someone else, we hope we’ll see you in Gansevoort when the next season gets going.
The Skydive Saratoga Team
