Great video. Weather is as cold as we have in mid-winter ballooning in Finland. We have forests and frozen lakes, you have mountines and tundra. But we don´t need rifles because our bears are affraid of us.

- Then you have to come out here for a visit! Mix some ballooning and some skiing. Your idea of a balloon exchange is an EXCELLENT idea. We would like to do that! If you come to Colorado, come stay with us!

- I am from South of England - Sussex - moved to Australia 22 years ago and live in the country - we have very big paddocks here but they are planting more grape vines which are not nice to land on. I love the video of ballooning at midnight - have you seen the Northern Lights - I would love to get to Finland one day - when my children have gone to University ;-) Finland looks so beautiful - do you have lots of mosquitoes in summer?
