    "The 86th Annual Harris Hill Ski Jumping competition February 13 & 14, 2010.

     

    The weekend-long event will feature the Pepsi Challenge, the Fred Harris Memorial Tournament and the (NEW!) SuperTour final competitions. This is a United States Ski Association (USSA) sanctioned event, where we will host the world's best ski jumpers on our new jump.

     

    Harris Hill Ski Jump of Brattleboro, Vermont is the only 90 meter ski jump in New England and one of only six in the USA of our size and caliber. We have completed an extensive renovation of the jump in order to continue its reputation of a first-class venue in the sport of ski jumping. Harris Hill is a symbol of pride for the Brattleboro community and throughout the Northeast.

     

    Founded in 1922 by Fred Harris of Brattleboro, the Fred Harris Memorial Ski Jumping Tournament is one of the region's most popular winter sporting events, attracting thousands of fans from the Northeast for this two-day ski jumping competition."
