The sport of ski jumping can be very rewarding. Joining the Snowflake Ski Club will give members access to the hills throughout the jumping season, equipment to try the sport, and a club coach for assistance. Snowflake’s facility features 5, 10, 20, 40, 65, and 118 meter ski jumps. Jumpers that are new to the sport will start on the 5 meter, or “bunny hill,” and progress to the next largest jump as their skill level permits. The ski club is one of nearly a dozen other clubs in the Central Division, which is made up of Wisconsin, Minnesota, Michigan, and Illinois, that hosts ski jumping competitions throughout the winter. As the jumpers progress, the Central Division will provide access to world class coaching. Each year the top jumpers in the Central Division earn points to qualify for the Junior Nationals. It is an event that represents the best junior ski jumpers in the nation for each respective age group.
Joining the Snowflake Ski Club will give members access to the hills throughout the jumping season.
Advanced ski jumpers have the opportunity to train year round. During the winter months, the Snowflake Ski Club has lighted facilities to train in the evening, and the latest in snow making and grooming equipment to keep the jumps in good condition. To provide additional training, there are numerous other facilities in the Central Division equipped with plastic matting that simulates snow to accommodate ski jumping in the spring, summer and fall.
The sport of ski jumping has many benefits to offer jumpers and parents:
- Provides skiers and parents the opportunity to travel throughout the nation for competitions and training camps
- Promotes physical fitness for ski jumping athletes.
- Requires juniors to set their goals and develop the work ethic to achieve those goals.
- Allows junior skiers and parents to build camaraderie with fellow ski jumping enthusiasts throughout the nation.
