Just because we have jumped a spot multiple times, does not guarantee the same performance as the last. Listen to recommendations from local jumper and do your preparations prior to exiting. As it may be our last. Amy was happy at the time. She was living out a lifelong dream of moving to Norway, BASE jumping, skiing and all the other outdoor activities that are offered. She talked about the beautiful country views and how amazingly healthy the food was. An amazing soul, an amazing person and will be missed by many who she knew.
