Mile high in Longmont is good to go. Experienced, safe, fun group of guys there. Do a tandem first. Still good weather for jumping, just jumped there Friday. Take a pair of gloves and a beanie to go under your helmet. You'll exit from 12,500 ft (AGL) and pull at 3500. With a normal fall rate of 1000 ft per 5 sec, you'll free fall for about 45 seconds and fly 3-4 min under canopy. Go do it with your son, you won't regret it.
On a side note: if you don't know an answer from experience, then don't answer. Save that BS for arfcom. If you have less than 100 jumps or so, you are still a cherry and probably should sit back on this one unless talking about a tandem experience.

coloccw. do you jump out at Milehi? I jumped there from 2005-2007. Fun place just too much of a tandem factory for me.

spd: I loved Gold Coast. Were you there when Scotty(mike) died?

My buddy in college flew the jumpers out of their king air and twin otter and 206. I flew with him a few times and really enjoyed it! We always tried to beat them to the ground! tougher than you think.
all the instructors there I met were really cool, very professional and they did a great job as a company. It's been almost 6 years since I've been around that type of flying but they are still in business so that has to say a lot.

People can do tandem dives no problem. usually about 1/2 your day taken up. if it is a one time deal I would get the video or see if they will let you bring along a camera or gopro or something. you can record it from the ground too, all the one from tiny speck out of the plane to watching them pull the chute to the landing on the south side of the airport.

that is your closest and best option.

I also know the one down in canyon city is great as well. I didn't get signed up in time in college for our fun-fly down there to go skydiving. I've never been before so no experience with the actual dive, but I think it is what I want to do for my 30th birthday....got 3 years to go!
