More importantly getting your message across in a fun way. We flew hot air balloons over 174,000 golf fans on Saturday. We shared the sky with helicopters, blimps, airplanes and of coarse Balloons.

Hot air balloons usually need less then 10 miles per hour to fly. So on days when the winds are above 10 miles per hour balloon flights usually get cancelled. Not to worry there is always a better day. Ballooning is a blast when the winds are right. That’s why its important to pick experienced pilots. The valley has some very experienced pilots. We all talk on the cell phones and check wind from a variety of locations around the valley to insure good conditions and the best possible flight!
