The ground crews that handle the balloons work hard ensuring each and every flight launches and lands safely.  They have been trained thoroughly and have experience with balloons and the Aspen/Snowmass area.  Most of the ground crew have been working with Above It All for more than five years.  As a whole, Above It All Balloon Company has had wonderful success; and as individuals they look forward to bringing each of you a wonderful experience.  Together they enjoy offering beautiful flights over the scenic Rocky Mountains of the Aspen and Snowmass areas.  They truly love sharing flights with each passenger, whether it be a first-timer on a special trip or a repeat customer introducing his or her adventure to friends and family.

They enjoy the flexibility of the work schedule offered by a family owned and operated business.  It allows them to spend more time with their children, Aimee 19 now in college and David 14.

In 2002, Bill retired, Bruce and Pam bought Bill's shares and became joint owners of Above It All Balloon Company.  To this day, while Pam manages the daily office operations, Bruce continues to Pilot the balloons and tends to equipment care and maintenance.

Above It All Balloon Company has continued to grow in it's success and employs additional Pilots through the Summer.  Andy Waner, affectionately know as "Cap'n Bubba", has been Piloting balloons for Above It All for over nine years now.  He brings a tremendous background of commercial flying all over the world; but he loves it here best!

Above It All Balloon Company was originally founded by Bill Hodgden, as a sole proprietorship, over twenty five years ago.  In 1996 Bruce and Pam Wood joined Bill through incorporatoin of the company and began marketing the balloon company within the Aspen and Snowmass areas.  As partners they worked together very well and enjoyed great success as a hot air balloon ride operation.  Bill and Bruce, both Commercial Pilots, handled the flights and care of the equipment while Pam handled the telephones and office.
