Many of our listings do not have pricing
information. We wanted you to understand why that is. Since ballooning
is a weather dependant activity, pricing can vary from region to region.
Many operators offer specials depending on demand and season of year. To
list all these specials would just add confusion to this online
resource. In many areas you will find several PRO's
(professional ride operators).
Competition between these operators keep pricing at it's best. We have
found pricing to be competitive in each area with pricing varying only
about $5 from operator to operator. Pricing nationwide can be anywhere
from $160 to $225 per person depending on yearly flight weather in that
region. Currently the national average is around $180 per person.
Operated by Mark and Paula Irving, has geared it's business
toward families since 1986. We have designed our business to
cater to smaller groups we get to know rather than going for
the large
numbers that most "cattle car" ride businesses strive for.

In Crested Butte the balloon may fly in "hops". A chase
vehicle follows the balloon to the point where the balloon
lands and changes out passengers. Passenger not riding in
the balloon are then part of the chase crew. The average
flight time for Crested Butte is 45 minutes.
Flight times may vary 15 minutes more or less from average
flight times due to wind conditions and availability of
landing sites.
