SWSA, in NW Connecticut and home to many ski jumping events since 1925, will be hosting the USSA Junior Olympics in February, 2011. To bring our old wooden jump up to USSA requirements, we are in the midst of completely rebuilding our 65 Meter jump. Earlier this year, we embarked on a local capital campaign raising nearly 2/3rds of the funds toward our $700,000 goal. We have a ways to go and need your assistance. Click here for more information.
