Narrative:
A skydiver operator allowed jumpers to continue skydiving operations through clouds at ZZZ. This happens with staff doing tandems and fun jumpers. This is a regular occurrence at this airport. It is a danger to pilots who are flying general aviation at a public airport. The company conducts their operation at ZZZ; they are so brazen about it that they even posted it [online] and brag about it. This is not the first time this has happened. The management allows tandem skydives to continue during cloudy conditions.
