What's Up in 2010
Our 84th year of ski jumping in Salisbury
Jumpfest 2010! — The 2010 “Jump Fest” is now over and recorded in the history books. For more information on the weekend results visit the events results.
As to the future SWSA has been awarded by the USSA the opportunity to host the 2011 Junior Olympic Competitions. SWSA Board Members are in the process of making that a reality. The only request was that the old tower be replaced. They currently have an engineered design for the new tower, have recieved bids from area contractors and are moving forward to reach this goal.
"The United States has a lack of good hills in the K-65 meter range (200 feet), a key size for young jumpers learning to fly. Salisbury thus finds itself poised to once again become a factor at the national level. This will be particularly true of a Salisbury jump redesigned to modern specifications and suited to fostering correct modern techniques.
The redesign and rebuilding of Salisbury’s hill is a tremendous commitment by a regional club with a long Nordic tradition. It will have beneficial repercussions on a national level and give a needed boost to ski jumping in the U.S. It will also enable the great fan base of spectators in Salisbury to see the best young ski jumpers in the country come to Satre Hill and show what they are made of. I’m sure the Satre Brothers would be as proud as the rest of us to see Salisbury make such an important contribution to Nordic skiing in this country." Larry Stone, Salisbury Jumper, Lake Placid and Olympic Coach
