Harris Hill Ski Jump Competition

Very Exciting and Comfortably Attended…

Why Fly to Innsbruck, Austria to Watch World Cup Ski Jumping…

True Ski Jumping originated in Morgedal, Norway. Olaf Rye, a Norwegian lieutenant, was the first known ski jumper. In 1809, he launched himself 9.5 meters (10 yards) in the air in front of an audience of other soldiers.

The Harris Hill Ski Jumping Competition is next weekend, February 17-18, 2024. The competition offers spectators an opportunity to experience the Olympic sport of ski jumping up close in all its breathtaking, heart-stopping glory—complete with distant ringing cow bells make it seem like you’re in Austria for the day! This long-standing, two-day Brattleboro tradition is held on New England’s only Olympic-size, 90-meter hill.

Harris Hill Ski Jumping Competition • Brattleboro, Vermont

Saturday & Sunday, February 15-16, 2020

We had a blast last year – nine of us traveled just over an hour though picturesque historic Vermont towns to witness competitors as young as twelve years old launching themselves more than 300 feet at speeds up to 60 mph! Top jumpers from around the world compete on New England’s only Olympic-size 90-meter hill… distant ringing cow bells make it seem like you’re in Austria for the day.

Join us… we’re attending both events over the weekend – speedskating at Lake Placid on either Friday or Saturday and ski jumping on Sunday!
