Ballooning is a truly magical experience, but it's also weather-dependent. Our commitment to safety means we only fly when conditions are ideal. While this might occasionally lead to delays or cancellations, please know it's always with your safety and enjoyment in mind.
The Snohomish area, nestled between the Puget Sound and the Cascades, offers stunning views but can also have rapidly changing weather. To ensure a safe and memorable flight, we prioritize clear skies, good visibility, and gentle, predictable winds. Sometimes, even if it looks perfect on the ground, hidden wind patterns can make flying unsafe.
We understand that planning a special occasion around a balloon ride can be exciting. To minimize any disappointment, we encourage considering flexible scheduling, such as booking a backup date. This allows us to capitalize on favorable weather windows and ensure you have the best possible experience.
