Are you tired of being too warm? Inflator fan starting too easily? Are you regularly suffering from being able to feel your fingers and toes? Well then we have the event for you! Come to Vermont in the middle of winter! Bring a balloon, wake up super early, and Freeze Your Bippie Off on a nice long flight!

In the past, this event has had everything: 50 degree slush, -30 degree mornings, driving snow storms, frozen lake landings, frozen lake launchings, frozen American flags, the armchair sled, and lots and lots more!

So come out, lick your carabiners for good luck, and Freeze Your Bippie Off!

If you have questions or are interested in attending the 2026 addition of the Freeze Your Bippie Off Balloon Meet, please reach out to us (PMAVermont@gmail.com). Weather changes fast this time of year so we’ll be communicating updates with participating pilots as the event gets closer. No RSVP: No updates.
