WELCOME!
Welcome to the "Wildfire Balloon Team" website. We enjoy the sport of Hot Air Ballooning and the opportunity to introduce as many people to the sport as possible. Hot Air Ballooning is a group/team sport. The more we have involved the more fun the event can be.
Visit us regularly as we travel througout the western USA to attend a variety of ballooning events.

Snowdown is a Community event that involves children of all ages.
Every year, Durango grabs a theme for the event and comes out in full force and regalia to celebrate winter thru "Snowdown". Snowdown was created so that a winter celebration would bring Enterprise to the land and raise up the people in their time of need. Snowdown was established as a winter fun celebration. The theme for 2014 is "Safari So Good".
