If you’ve ever looked up at Montana’s Big Sky and wished you could dive right in, now you can. It’s like the ‘Before Times’ in gorgeous Bitterroot Valley. Skydiving is returning the sport to the valley after being absent for decades, and only for the bravest among you.

Picture this: You’re 10,000 feet up, the door of the plane opens and the chilly mountain air greets your face. Below, the Bitterroot River runs with the postcard-visual backdrop of the Sapphire and Bitterroot mountain ranges. It’s the sort of view that’ll have you questioning why you’ve been living your whole life on the ground.

The high-flying adventure is coming from Luke and Beth Short, the operators of Skydive Missoula. But these two are not just skydivers, they are record-holding pros who happen to be a skydiving love story. They are infectious in their love of the sport and can’t wait to share the buzz with everyone from first-timers to seasoned adrenaline junkies.

Never skydived before? Don’t sweat it. Tandem skydiving is perfect for a beginner. You’ll be strapped to a certified pro who knows how to keep you safe as you shriek your lungs out while falling at terminal speed. And if you want to really make someone’s day (or life), you can purchase a $100 gift certificate, it comes with photos and a video of the jump as well. (I know someone who would like one of these if any of my family is reading this. wink wink)

So, what are you waiting for? The Bitterroot Valley is best seen from above. Go ahead, take the leap.
