Reading material for winter

Recommended Posts

Winter is here with lots of ice and snow up north in Chicago. I'm on my level 6 and will continue in the Spring. I would like to use this time off to learn as much as I possibly can, so..... What material would be helpful to study for the winter months? I have read the Skydivers Handbook. Any good dvd's out there to get my fix in, on those cold sunny days? Thanks for your suggestions.

Ah, you guys down south are wimps. We jump all winter in WI :D

"Parachute and It's Pilot" is a good one. I assume you are getting Parachutist every month. That is a good read to get your fix in on a regualar basis.

Any idea where I can find that in the UK? Amazon.co.uk doesn't seem to carry it and borders can't order it for me.
