Brattleboro HS98

For the first time, the U.S. Ski Jumping Championships were held in Brattleboro in 1924. For the fifth U.S. Championships in 1951, a record 10,000 spectators came to the later-dedicated "Harris Hill" hill and marveled at the new hill record of 239 feet (72.8 m) by Art Tokle. Since the ski jump was not up to standards, "Harris Hill Ski Jump Inc." was founded in 2003, and in the following years US$300,000 was raised to modernize the K90 hill. From 2006 to 2008, a steel inrun tower was erected, the landing hill was widened and the outrun of the hill was modified.
