the flight...
Based on the days weather conditions, we'll select a launching location best suited for optimum downwind views, flight duration and suitable downwind landing sites.
Inflating the hot air balloon takes only a few minutes providing you the opportunity to become involved as a crew member, or you may sit back, observe and take pictures.
Once the balloon is inflated, you'll be invited into our hand woven wicker gondola. The first thing you'll notice is the size of the balloon as it towers above us.
There
is room in the gondola for your backpack, camera bag, or the jackets and
sweaters that often get shed floating in the warm sunshine. There's also
a nice cushion seat in our basket that seats two people comfortably without
sacrificing the views!
Once
situated, you'll be instructed on proper landing proceedures, and in-flight
proceedures... a "do's and don'ts" pre-flight briefing. Minutes
later you'll be enjoying breathtaking
views of the Sierra Nevada, the Carson Valley, Carson City and usually
Lake Tahoe. [ See a few photos here ] You'll
also experience ballooning at lower altitudes as we love hopping over trees,
playing in the Carson River and skimming fields! Bring
extra film or memory cards and fully charged batteries for your camera(s).
After about an hour in the air (sometimes longer), we'll gently land (we rarely land in the same place twice) where our trusty ground/chase crew will be there to greet us. We'll quickly pack up the balloon (you're more than welcome to help) then we'll start the tradtional post flight celebration with complementary champagne, sparkling cider, or Full Sails to commemorate your return to Mother Earth.
Please allow 3 hours out of your day for an experience that will last a life time!
