Margaret – Pilot
Margaret Rose Breffeilh spent her childhood summers riding in balloons with her uncle all around the state of Wyoming. While in college she was offered the opportunity to chase for him in Jackson Hole, Wy. and quickly became enchanted. In 2003 she began her journey to becoming a commercial balloon pilot while completing her college degree in Chicago for Choreography. She received her private rating in 2005 and commercial certificate in 2008. Margaret then opened Elevated Ballooning in 2011 in Jackson Hole. In that same year she also took on the roles of organizer and balloonmeister for the Teton Valley Balloon Rally. After enjoying the small town of Driggs, she moved Elevated Ballooning to Teton Valley as well. Margaret has flown in numerous balloon events all over the west and has experience flying in the tiniest of balloons (cloud hoppers) to some of the largest (passenger ride balloons which can take up to 20 people). In the winter (the local off season for ballooning) she spends time with her family and dotes on her feisty Chihuahua. She loves sharing her passion for ballooning and looks forward to meeting new people through flying.
Jenny – Pilot
Jennifer Wolf was first introduced to the sport of ballooning while attending graduate school in San Diego. While completing her Master’s Degree in Marine Ecology she worked as ground crew for the commercial ride companies flying balloons out of Del Mar and Temecula. In 1991, along with her now husband Ernie Hartt (bio below), purchased a used balloon from a company they crewed for. She received her private license in 1992 spending many years flying in events and competitions across the country while also working as a marine biologist. In 2000 Jennifer received her commercial rating. During the summer, when not in Teton Valley, she and her husband travel around the western US attending balloon rallies.
