Letter from the President
Ken Barker
Welcome everyone
to the 86th year of ski
jumping in Salisbury!
A year has passed and
we remain devoted to
our goal of creating a
small town event and
venue with a great
national reputation in
the ski jumping com-
munity.
In 2011, our small
town and surround-
ing area revealed to the the rest of the country that
our goal to build a new ski jump would make the
Northwest corner of Connecticut a place to re-
member. We achieved this goal in many ways and
through the generosity of many of you. Donors,
sponsors, volunteers or all of the above have suc-
ceeded at making our area become a destination
for this sport. We welcomed not only the skiers
and entourage of coaches but also their families
and friends, all of whom were awed by the volun-
teer tradition of SWSA.
Completing construction of this venue in 2011
was a large enough task, but the additional chal-
lenge to host the US Junior Olympics in the same
year was a little crazy and far-fetched. The pres-
sure and deadlines proved to be a challenge, but
we rose to every one. Amid the endless commit-
tees we were fortunate to have people outside of
SWSA join us with their professional opinions and
guidance. We managed both to create a dynamic
Jumpfest weekend and an organized high qual-
ity Junior Olympics. On our small town budgets
and old school laurels we put on one of the very
best Junior Olympic events in memory. I person-
ally had the pleasure of three jumpers coming up,
shaking hands and saying: Ive been to many of
these events but your group has taken this to a new
level. Those conversations lled me with a sense
of pride that made the long hours and hurdles
worthwhile.
SWSA was assisted in the Junior Olympics by
some extraordinary outside entities. Mohawk
Mountain, in nearby Cornwall, Connecticut, came
to our aide in the Cross Country portion of the
Nordic Combined event. They took on the chal-
lenge of creating a splendid crafted course. We
thank the management, snowmaking crew, groom-
ers, and entire support staff for their involvement
in the weeklong event. Sunday In The Country
Food Drive, based out of Millerton NY, operates a
food drive for the surrounding area. They came to
SWSAs aide and fed all the competitors, coaches
and support staff. There were tiring long and cold
days where they served everyone breakfast, lunch
and dinner with a smile. Their tireless energy
made us proud to be associated with the organiza-
tion and proved another unique aspect of how our
small town operates.
Most of all, I would like to thank again all
the people who came together as a support staff
whether in Public Relations, Opening Ceremonies,
trafc control, Emergency Medical Technicians, or
people who brought baked goods, hot coffee and
a new joke for hill workers, or just stopped by to
show their support for the athletes. Through every
individual effort came a unied event unlike any
other we had seen before. The impression we made
on our visitors from throughout the country will
not be forgotten.
SWSA is not just a winter-based organization.
Spring brings work details, concerts, and an un-
paralleled venue. Golf tournaments, beer festivals,
ski swaps, cookouts and bonres all come under
our lists of things to do. We are a hard work-
ing group of people who are always looking for
more of you to get involved. There might not be
a paycheck, but the hard work, satisfaction, and
laughs usually allow most to enjoy the SWSA way
of giving back.

Roy Sherwood is a
man who never forgot
his past. He remem-
bered what he learned
in his youth and has
dedicated his efforts
toward a future of
jumping in Salisbury.
Sherwood is the stellar
example of determina-
tion, dedication and
generosity. Sherwood
stands out as a person
who learned, lived and never forgot his heritage.
His support of the Salisbury Winter Sports Associa-
tion is clear when he stops and packs snow as he did
over eight decades ago on Satre Hill.
Sherwood traveled abroad as an Olympic con-
tender, which was an unfathomable feat from Salis-
bury, our humble hometown. Sherwood was one
of the rst to step forward and wave the banner of
belief that Salisbury and its long time Winter Sports
Association could rally to create a new state of the
art ski jump. He was the man with a check in hand
to solidify the start of the Jump Campaign. His in-
domitable spirit led to the beginning steps of hiring
an engineer. His generosity was instrumental in the
building of a new jump, judges tower, and other im-
provements to the Salisbury Winter Sports grounds.
Sherwood has never faltered in championing the
efforts of Salisbury Winter Sports Association and
the ski jumping facility. He has proven he can shov-

el snow, keep the continued momentum for donors
for the ski jump tower, keep a skilled critical eye on
jumpers from his own spot of the Louise Sherwood
Judges Tower, help contour the landing hill, and
always show up during sub degrees temperature to
promote and encourage the youngest members of
the junior jumping program.
Sherwood is a delight to have on the hill. His
enthusiasm and efforts are unparalleled. His is
the legend that continues to bestow the Salisbury
Winter Sport Association with his dedicated com-
mitment to a legacy.

When you buy a ticket to the championships, here is where your money goes
Running the annual U.S. Eastern and Salisbury
Invitational Ski Jumping Championships and maintaining
the jumps are major undertakings that consume not only
thousands of volunteer hours but also a signifcant portion
of the Salisbury Winter Ski Association budget. Less well
known,
however, are a number of other programs that SWSA
sponsors. If you bought advertising in the Jump Program,
purchased a ticket to the event or became a member of the
organization, here are some of the places your money is
going:
* Maintenance of the Bittersweet Downhill area and
Selleck Hill Cross-country trails.
* Support of junior jumpers. SWSA provides
equipment, sends juniors to summer training camps, and
helps fnance travel and participation in competitions
across the country.
* Support of local school children interested in skiing.
SWSA funds contributed to the Salisbury Central
School ski program at Catamount help cover cost of
transportation, lessons, and equipment rental.
* Te annual Ski Swap, which benefts residents selling
unneeded equipment. Donated gear, distributed through
the Salisbury Recreation Dept., encourages local children
to get into the sport.
* Support of jumpers throughout New England with
contributions to the New York State Ski Educational
Foundation, which provides transportation and other
support to jumpers in the region.

This years event will span three days that we hope
will inspire you and your family to come visit our
venue and our surrounding area. Friday night will
kick off our weekend festivities. The evening will start
with a chili cook off with offerings from area restau-
rants. There will be an ice carving demonstration
followed by target jumping by our athleteswith a
winner-take-all prize of $500 donated for the second
year by Churchill Brothers, LLC. The bonfres will be
lit and the cow bells will be ringing!
A junior tournament returns on Saturday morn-
ing after a three-year absence. The feld will include
several local jumpers culled from a Christmas week
clinic at Satre Hill that boasted 22 youngsters from
area towns.
Jump practice that will be followed by The Salis-
bury Invitational meet in the afternoon. An ice carv-
ing competition on the green at The White Hart Inn
will feature artists from the tri-state area and beyond.
The evening will again bring everyone to the White
Hart for a silent auction to beneft the Eastern Ski
Jumping Association, followed by a live band playing
until midnight.
Sunday concludes our weekend festivities with
practice jumping in the morning followed by the
Eastern Ski Jumping Championships in the after-
noon. Morning, noon or night there will be some-
thing for everyone on this weekend in town.
As you read through this years program you
will realize that there are always projects, events and
causes that we at SWSA sponsor and or participate
in. As with many other organizations in town, we try
to help where we can. Many current directors grew
up in our club and enjoy giving back to the commu-
nity as a way of thanking past volunteers and direc-
tors. We all work hard to preserve this unique local
tradition, one of the few truly old school venues
and clubs in the area. And our efforts have been
rewarded by the support of citizens and organizations
throughout our community. For the second year in
a row, Fred Stevenson and Lloyd Wallingford of the
Murphy Open golf tournament chose SWSA as the
benefciary in the amount of $4,700. We all greatly
appreciate their generosity and are committed to
supporting this event, which helps so many different
non-profts year after year.
After talking with Fred and Lloyd, SWSA directors
decided to sponsor an annual tournament of its own!
Everyone agreed that an event that did not require
shovels, rakes, chainsaws, tractors, etc. would be very
different for our club. We thought this could actually
be fun! and it proved to be. Trish and John MacAr-
thur and their entire family became our hosts. Under-
mountain Golf was the place, and a great day of golf
was had by all! Our sincere thanks to the MacArthurs
and their family for making the day such a success!
Our advertisers in this program are also a very
important part of the clubs on going commitment to
winter sports in the area. Year after year and in good
times and bad, these individuals and businesses help
our cause in any way they can. We all at SWSA say
Thank you. This program provides the funds to
maintain our facility and equipment and to keep this
tradition alive. As we approach the task of replacing
our jump tower, a positive relationship with the com-
munity becomes ever more important.
The program is also a way of showing our ap-
preciation to a signifcant contributor to the SWSA
tradition who passed away this year. Marianne Fairall
was known by everyone in SWSA and in the entire
ski jumping community. Though many of you may
not have met her personally, you may know her by
reputation: she was widely known at the Salisbury
Jumps as the Cow-bell Lady. Whether it was your
frst year at our event or your 10th, there was Mari-
anne. She would walk through the crowd with a big
smile and a much bigger heart selling cow bells. The
money she raised was then used to support trips,
equipment and anything else Eastern jumpers needed
in their travels here and abroad. Aside from sell-
ing bells at all the events she also came up with the
silent auction idea at Salisbury and two other venues.
She would get here on Friday night with a load of
kids from New Hampshire, get them settled in for
a weekend of jumping, be here frst thing both days
selling bells and then somehow got to the White Hart
to set up the auction, head off to our awards dinner
and be back in time to start and run the auction.(The
silent auction in Salisbury is actually the largest fund
raising event in Eastern ski jumping!) Salisbury was
one of Mariannes favorite events every year and it
will be diffcult to imagine our weekend without her
enthusiasm and dedication for all kids involved with
jumping. Please join us Saturday night and visit the
auction at the White Hart. This would be a wonderful
way of paying tribute to one of the most dedicated
women that this sport has ever had!

Ice Carving Competition
The conditions were almost perfect for the 7th
Annual Salisbury Ice Carving Competition held
last February 9th, the Saturday of the ski jumps,
on the green of the White Hart Inn. A light snow
fell throughout the day to add a visual wintry
touch, and the lack of sunshine (ices mortal en-
emy) helped preserve the competitors 300-pound
ice blocks. But the 34-degree temperature softened
the ice enough to make it diffcult for the carvers
to fashion sharp details in their sculptures. Still,
the fnished works were spectacular in both the
amateur and professional divisions.
In the increasingly competitive amateur divi-
sion, Justin Reich from Newington, Conn. cap-
tured third place with his Surfng Penguins.
Hometown favorite Jean Saliter took second place
with her Lombardi Trophy and also won the
Peoples Choice Award. Howard Freeman from
East Hartford, Conn., won frst place honors with
his Lighthouse View sculpture.
The sculptures in the professional division
never cease to amaze. Fourth place honors went to
J.P. Hedbavney from Branchville, N.J. (J.P. is also
co-chairman of the competition) with his Flying
Geese. Gary Costa from Burlington, Conn., a con-
sistent top-three fnisher, took third place with Bal-
ancing Pixie. Thor was the title of the sculpture
by second-place winner
Richard Daley from Mas-
tic Beach, N.Y. And Chad
Gasiorek from Shohola,
Pa., won frst place with
Fighting Eagles.
The annual ice carv-
ing competition is made
possible through the
generosity of lead spon-
sor Klemm Real Estate,
as well as the White Hart
Inn, the Salisbury Winter
Sports Association and
Trimp Ice Art.

Those who have in-
habited and invested in
them ultimately dene
townships and their
organizations. Over
time, some more than
others, each member
and resident offers his
or her part to the whole.
There are those whose
contributions have
been so profound that
their names are used to
describe the places where they dwelt. This past year
Salisbury and SWSA lost three such friends; John
Jack Falconer Fisher III, Anna Whitbeck and Carl
Haskell Williams.
Their personal styles ranged from larger-than-
life to quiet and behind-the-scenes, but their collec-
tive inuence on us, including SWSA, is indelible.
Jack Fisher
Outdoorsman and
builder of ski hills was
naturally drawn to the
Association. He was
generous with his time,
talents and resources
when SWSA needed
them most. As long-
time SWSA Director
George Keifer noted,
We didnt know any-
thing about snow back
Remembrances 2012
then, but Jack did. Around 1950 SWSA unveiled
its new wooden tower, and Jack was there with his
power wagon to help the organization prepare for
a national event. He fashioned the apparatus that
pulled snow from bottom to top of the landing hill.
This became the state of the art for hill preparation
until snowmaking came along years later.
Anna Whitbeck
A life-long cheerlead-
er, not only for SWSA,
but also for Nordic
sports. Evidence of her
love of cross-country
skiing was unavoid-
able- especially in the
Salisbury Pharmacy
that Anna owned with
brothers Walter and
Bam. Those of a certain
age will remember the
sign at the soda foun-
tain that stated Closed
Gone Skiing. During
the 70s and 80s, Annas coffee shop served as the
Monday-morning-before jump-weekend headquar-
ters where directors would nally decide whether
or not there was enough snow around to hold the
event. Anna served as a SWSA director for years and
to my knowledge never missed a Jumpfest weekend.
Carl Williams
Outdoor adventurer,
skier, humorist, teacher,
SWSA director and
friend. We can never
know the breadth of
inuence that Carl has
had over his legion
of students during
his years as teacher of
math, skiing and life.
Nor can we calculate
the man- and boy-
hours spent by him
and his charges ski-
packing the landing hill
at Satre Memorial. He was a life-long Alpine skier,
despite his commitment to SWSA, and he never
let us forget his preference. At the opening of the
SWSAs historical exhibit at the Academy Building,
Carl arrived bearing a sign identifying himself as
an Alpine Skier and ask with mock timidity if he
could be allowed in. As SWSA Director Mat Keifer
said, Carl never jumped, but he had a love for the
event.
All three, Jack, Anna and Carl lived long
productive lives, and we have been the
beneciaries. We will miss them.

From the Salisbury Board of Selectmen
The Town of Salisbury welcomes the 86th Annual
Jumpfest Weekend to be held in our town. We are
honored to host this important competition and we
are proud of the accomplishments that have brought
these competitors to our town.
Sponsored by the Salisbury Winter Sports Associa-
tion (SWSA), our ski jump nds its roots in several
of our towns ancestors who introduced us to Nordic
winter sports competition in the 1920s. The SWSA
program provides winter recreational activities for
people of all ages, and over the years the Satre Hill has
attracted many National and Olympic championship
ski jumpers.
In addition to the US Eastern Ski Jumping Cham-
pionships which attracts the most promising jumpers
in the East, SWSA will, for the rst time, host a USA
Cup Series event, featuring senior and open class
jumpers from around the United States. The Salisbury
event will serve as a nal qualier for USA Cup jump-
ers to participate in the International Ski Federation
Cup in Brattleboro Vermont the following weekend.
Other Jumpfest events include perennial favorites
including Target Jumping under the lights, the Chili
Cook off, a Junior Ski jump meet, the Salisbury Invita-
tional, the 11th Annual Ice Carving Competition and
the Snow Ball.
This year will be the second year using our new
jumping facility in which we hosted the 2011 Junior
Olympic Nordic competition. This included a new
steel jump tower, judges building, and improvements
to the landing hill, parking areas, and snowmaking
equipment. The entire cost was raised by private do-
nations, and we are grateful for the generous support
of so many people who are helping SWSA to achieve
this important nancial goal.
The SWSA program is run entirely by volunteers,
who donate long hours to ensure a high quality,
competitive and safe event. SWSA believes that there
should always be a chance for any child to get outside
and enjoy the winter, and it sponsors ski swaps, cross-
country and downhill skiing, and jumping on two
smaller hills that are situated to the left of the champi-
onship jump.
We welcome you to Salisbury and extend our best
wishes. Thank you.

.
I dont like heights.
Nope, Im the guy with
the ever-so-casual-look-
ing-but-absolute death
grip on the balcony rail-
ing. Im always checking
out the escape options
on a bridge, and much
happier with a lower
oor assignment in a
hotel, or the aisle seat
on a plane.
Several years ago,
when SWSA offered me the opportunity to be the
starter at the top of the old jump, this still-recovering
weekender gulped a few times, prayed it might cure
some of my fears, and bravely accepted. After all,
I could hardly admit to my fellow directors that I
thought their beloved old jump looked like a disaster
waiting to happen, and they did not know me well
enough to sign my death warrant, and it would be a
good test to my medical insurance policy. It did occur
to me that the reason no one else wanted the starters
job was because they knew better.
Of course, at that point I dont think I had ever
been to the top of the jump, and denitely not in
wintertime. My opinion was based on the view from
far below, safely on solid earth.
That rst Jump Weekend was quite an experience.
I had been forewarned to dress warmly. 80 feet into
the clouds can bring on a small chill. I bundled on
about six layers and carried a daypack stuffed with
survival gear (spurred on by my college memories
winter mountaineering in the White Mountains of
New Hampshire). Bundled like a toddler I could
hardly move, and the ascent to the top was methodi-
cal, i.e. it took forever.
The old jump was quite steep at the top. There
were a few treads to step on, and clamber to the top
but they were severely worn out from generations of
jumpers. Unfortunately, the treads were also covered
with snow. The last 10 feet were like climbing a slip-
pery ladder, where the handholds were full of splin-
ters.
Finally at the top and starting to sweatfrom all
the layers, not my challenging nerves I took a good
look around. There I was, about 80 feet in the air,
with an ancient railing that made the word imsy
sound desirable. I was barely appeased by the 12
square foot platform on which to stand. I was doing
ne and breathing deeply until the jumpers arrived,
at which point it felt like rush hour on the subway.
The views, however, were wonderful. I enjoyed
picking out familiar buildings in town and planning
hikes in the Taconic range. It was sunny that rst day
at the top, and I started to relax and enjoy the swell-
ing breeze.
At rst the light wind was refreshing, but then the
tower began to sway. The gentle gusts suddenly felt
like stirring hurricanes. I looked for a less-splintered
piece of railing to hug, until it occurred to me that
holding tight to a falling tower would be unproduc-
tive at best.
I looked around to plot my next move. If the tower
falls to the North, I leap for that tree; to the South, to
another; to the East or West, I had less options and I
had to resign myself that the captain sometimes has
to go down with the ship. That noble thought was
hardly comforting.
Four grueling hours at the top passed without a
disaster, and the competition ended. I was cold, stiff,
and lonely. All the jumpers had of course left the top,
and I could barely see the remaining spectators in the
far off distance heading toward their cars and homes.
Darkness was falling, and I had brought everything
but a ashlight, so I had to get down quickly.
The jump was built for skiers to climb up and ski
down. It was denitely not built for scrambling down
a steep incline with nothing but tiny wedges of wood
to cling to. The railings were full of splinters that were
aimed upward, they were smooth while ascending, but
vicious descending, and the treads were now complete-
ly full of snow. Climbing up a ladder is not my favorite
activity, climbing down from the jump that rst time
was unforgettable and still makes me shudder.
The only reprieve was there was no one able to
see my awkward descent. When I nally reached the
bottom, all the spectators (including my dear family)
were long gone. There were only a handful of SWSA
volunteers left, and they were busy setting up for the
next day. Not exactly the fanfare I expected for my
daring rst adventure.
Over the years, I learned to prepare for the trek up
and down the tower. I bought better boots and gloves,
warmer and more windproof clothing, and gradually
came to enjoy the starters role. My wife, however, was
sure to pay up the life insurance
well ahead of Jumpfest.
I appreciated the nostalgia
of the SWSA veterans, with
mixed emotions when the old
tower came down at the end
of the 2010 season but I shed
no tears thinking about the
climb up and down. I avoided
a close inspection of the new
tower while under construction,
mainly because I didnt really
want to know how it was being
built. Some things are best left
unknown.
My rst trip up was the night
we were putting snow on the
in-run. When I got to the base
of the tower, my jaw would have dropped but for the
icicles covering my beardthere were steel steps,
OSHA-certied railings, and one could never imagine
that solid freezing cold steel would ever seem to hold
such a warm and cozy feeling. I resisted the tempta-
tion to kiss the supportsit was about zero with
wind-chillbut I gave the new tower a virtual hug.
Heading up, I stomped on the lower steps to check
their strength. Not a move. I pulled a railingrock
solid. I started up the in-run. Even though there was
snow everywhere, the steps were level and easy to
climb. There was even a splinter-free railing! Nirvana!
The new tower performed magnicently on Jump-
fest Weekend. The jumpers loved it, and this starter
grinned the entire time. I just about jogged casually
down at the end of each sessionthe design and
execution was that good, that comforting, and that
stable. I keep myself from looking at pictures of the
old tower because it still makes my spine recoil and
my stomach leap. Deep down my nerves are sanguine
as I plan what to bring in my reliable daypack to the
top for this years Jumpfest. This starter is eternally
grateful for the donors, supporters, volunteers, and
builders who contributed to the new jump.

The 2012 Salisbury
Jumpfest, conducted
by Salisbury Winter
Sports Associations, on
the incredible new K65
meter jump hill, stirs an
enormous number of
memories and recol-
lections from my own
career as a jumper. As the
K65 celebrates its rst
birthday, I am once again
reminded of my 30-year
association with the Satre Hill complex and the pro-
found effect ski jumping in Salisbury has had on me.
My very rst competitive jump took place on Salis-
burys 20-meter hill in 1981. I can remember stand-
ing on the tiny wooden platform, which is still in use
today, with butteries in my stomach. A competitive
nish was not one of my concerns. My main prior-
ity was simply to stay upright during the contest. As
the years passed I stayed with the sport. Experiencing
both highlights and defeat. As I began to take on jumps
with steeper inclines, I grew in awareness about the
heritage and larger world of jumping around me. My
rst exposure competing alongside ski jumpers from
overseas nations, like Austria, a team of jumpers that
then, and now, represents a powerhouse in the sport of
ski jumping, occurred on Salisburys large hill. Salis-
bury frequently hosted top-notch ski jumpers from
other nations. It was strangely incongruous to see these
powerful players from around the world competing in
Mark Breen
SWSA Reections
this small nook of Connecticut. I was always thank-
ful for the opportunity to watch and learn from these
marvelous athletes. Over time, I experienced my own
moments of triumph on the hill. However, by the time
I was faced with mature adult choices I thought I had
left ski jumping behind as part of my youth.
I left the sport to become a New York State Trooper;
a long, arduous process that consumed my mental
and physical focus. I never thought I would reconnect
with the sport that so completely formed who I was
as a young man and athlete. To jump again after life
and children had lled my daily existence did not enter
my imagination. Destiny however and what we do
when we are younger makes a strong imprint on who
we evolve to be. I was patrolling in my Troop car on
the New York-Connecticut border one day and came
across a red sign. It was so familiar to me in my youth,
but now looked so foreign. The red and white lettering
on a bright brick color background read: Salisbury
Ski Jumps and pointed the way over curvy back roads
to the hills. I didnt realize how close it was. As a kid I
would get on a bus, fall asleep, and magically appear in
Salisbury, not actually knowing where in the world it
was nor how close to the border of my own patrol.
In 1999 I followed that sign to Salisbury with my
one-year-old daughter, Olivia, to expose her to her
rst ski jumping event. Envy overtook me however as
I watched young jumpers y. I could feel them soaring
as I had never forgetting the sensation of defying
gravity. Although I was delighted with my work and
the progress I had made in my career, I could feel the
edge of disappointment to no longer be a part of the
ski-jumping world. It would be many more years
before I would act out on my internal longing, but in
2006, as I was watching the Winter Olympics from
Turin Italy, I turned on the ski jumping events and
developed a new-found determination to once again
be a part of the sport. Could I jump again? Was I too
old and, having put on 20 pounds, too heavy , to face
the challenge? It was just the challenge I needed.
I threw myself back into a tness regime and began
exercising as if I were years younger. I reached out to
see who was around and reconnect with the jumping
community, all with the thought that someday maybe
I could compete again. I soon realized, however, that I
had a desire to do more than compete. What I wanted
was to give back to the sport that provided me so much
while growing up. What I had done as a young man
helped me evolve into a different man. A man who
stood for ethics, morals, the manifest of good will and
the law.
Wandering onto Indian Cave Road, I introduced
myself to Ken Barker, SWSAs president, and other
SWSA board members and announced my intention
to aid the ski club in whatever capacity I could in order
to be closer to the sport. I volunteered to work at the
jumps whenever my schedule allowed. I was pleased to
contribute to the hard work that was needed to bring
the newest Satre hill to fruition. As a result of this work
I was rewarded with a rst that would represent one
of the prouder moments of my life: due to my age,
experience, and knowledge of the hill I was granted
the honor of taking the very rst jump from Salis-
burys newly constructed steel tower. The gift of many
years honing my passion for the hill paid off in a way
that was truly unexpected and helped me soar to new
places within myself.
My pride however does not compare with what
Salisbury Winter Sports Association has granted me:
the honor of coaching the sport to the next generation
of American ski jumpers. It is my desire to develop
existing club members to their utmost potential. It is
my hope as well to see many new young faces come
to the sport of ski jumping. I wish to impart to these
new generations the values that ski jumping represents:
sportsmanship, character, courage, self- esteem, and
the realization that people are capable of far more than
they realize. These byproducts of the sport sculpted
who I became and, who I challenged myself to be.
I promise all who come to ski jumping that they will
have fun. I also promise that some, some who work
hard, some who overcome fears and believe in them-
selves, will nd more than fun in ski jumping: They
will nd fulllment.
Best Wishes to SWSA

Partnerships: Sunday in the Country
Sunday in the Coun-
try, formed in 1993 to
help feed families in
need in our local com-
munities, got a humble
start. The original meal
created by founders
Dave Nascar Mc Mil-
lian and Bob Chateld
consisted of two turkeys
and some xings. Since
then, Sunday in the
Country has evolved
into a vital source of help in these times of eco-
nomic stress. It purchases food from local vendors,
which it then distributes to food pantries and
directly to needy families in the tri-state area. Mc
Millian and Compton kept their vision alive for a
dozen years with door-to-door fundraising. In 2005,
Sunday in the Country received a signicant contri-
bution from Judy Watts, in honor of Dave Nitro
Watts, giving them the opportunity to reorganize
as a tax-exempt charity. Since then, its impact has
grown dramatically. Last year, they celebrated by
participating in the following:
THE TURKEY FLOCK,
THE MARK WASHBURN MEMORIAL GOLF
TOURNAMENT
Andes Hruby
A DAY OF FUN AT DAISY HILL FARM
THE ANNUAL DINNER DANCE
THE ANNUAL CHICKEN COOK OFF
THE DAVID WALDRON
MEMORIAL POKER RUN
Sunday in the Country also assisted in the
fundraising for The MILLERTON LIONS CLUB,
THE SHARON FIRE DEPARTMENT and SWSA. In
one day at the The Center for the Advancement of
Postsecondary Studies (C.A.P.S) program at Ma-
plebrook School, they raised
more than $7,000. They
are particularly proud of
the success of the Fill a
Freezer meat rafe and
role as on-site food prepar-
er for athletes who came
from across the country to
compete in the 2011 Junior
Olympics.
For 2011 as a whole,
Sunday in the Country
raised $57,000, comfort-
ably fed 680 families over
Thanksgiving and Christ-
mas and lled more than
17 pantries in the tri-state
area with delectable and
healthy options for cooking. Where appropriate,
they also provided cash, comfort and condolences.
In 2012 the goal is to raise upwards of $50,0000
and help feed and support our neighbors. They are
honored to work closely with SWSA and appreciate
their joining us in this continued worthy cause.
If you want to attend or help at any event or
need general information please feel free to contact

Over the past ve years Salisbury
Winter Sports Association has been
honored by the dedicated commit-
ment of Rafe and Seth Churchill, of
the construction company Churchill
Brothers LLC. The partnership
began with the Churchill Brothers
sponsorship of the Under the Lights
Friday Night Target Jumps. They
generously award talented jumpers
for their ability to land on a bulls
eye target. The relationship between
Churchill LLC and SWSA expanded
with the building of the new state
of the art steel 65-K ski jump. Based
on their economical approach and
sharing of SWSAs vision for ad-
vancing Satre Hills legacy, Churchill
Brothers won the bid to build the
new jump.
Rafe and Seth Churchill are mas-
ter builders themselves and engage in
every aspect of a project from con-
sulting with architects, to developing
realistic budgets and construction
schedules. They are also known for
introducing clients to local talent and
resources, keeping ties to the com-
munity that are well rooted.
Rafe and Seth support many local
organizations and are active mem-
bers of the Northwest Corner. They
are proud to support:
The Sharon Audubon Society,
The Sharon Classic Road Race,
Womens Support Services,
The Sharon Center School Play-
ground,
Sharon Day Care,
The Sharon Fire Department and
Ambulance Squad,
The Lakeville Fire Department,
SOAR, The Salisbury Central
School Enrichment Fund, The Salis-
bury Volunteer Ambulance Service,
The Hotchkiss Library,
Scoville Memorial Library,
The Cornwall Library,
The Chore Service, and
The Cornwall Child Center.
SWSA is proud to have Churchill
on their team as sponsors of the Fri-
day Nigh Target Jumps and builders
of the 65-K Jump.

Marianne Fairall was full of life, with tremen-
dous ability and drive, a positive attitude and a
beautiful smile. Whatever interests her children
pursued, Marianne was quick to supply both the
talent and the energy to support them. Her son
Nicholas followed his sister Beth into ski jump-
ing and Marianne followed too, organizing trips
and raising funds. She almost single-handedly
transformed Eastern Ski Jumping from an or-
ganization with lots of good ideas but no way to
fund them to a non-proft corporation with the
fnancial means to support modest purchases or
projects and to assist developing athletes with the
ever increasing costs of travel and training.
A few years ago, Marianne was diagnosed with
a rare form of brain cancer. As she battled the dis-
ease, through three bouts of brain surgery, Mari-
anne bravely continued her work for ski jumping.
She never quit, and she never lost her smile.
For several seasons, Marianne followed the
Eastern U.S. ski jumping circuit as Nicholas grew
from a junior jumper to a top competitor. (Nick
recently placed 23rd in a World Cup Ski Fly-
ing event in Kulm, Austria, with a jump of 170
meters!) Always active and energetic, Marianne
would circulate in the crowd at Satre Hill in Salis-
bury, and at other jumping venues, fashing her
beautiful smile as she sold little cow-bells to raise
funds for Eastern Ski Jumping. She often missed
the Saturday competition in Salisbury as she pre-
pared a room in the White Hart Inn for another
fundraiser, the annual silent auction.
On August 10, 2008, Marianne fnally suc-
cumbed to her illness -- at home, surrounded
by her family. Mariannes son Nicholas made a
simple request about attire for her service ... we
would appreciate if people wore light colors to the
funeral because I know my mom would not like
it if she saw a bunch of people mourning over her
and making a big fuss about it. (Thats just the
way my mom is).
Nick led the way in cheerful attire with a pink
sport coat, while his father Martin wore a sport
jacket in a light hue of purple. Marianne will be
greatly missed.
As we recall her radiant smile and her bound-
less energy on behalf of Eastern Ski Jumping, we
dedicate the 2009 Salisbury Winter Sports Asso-
ciation Ski Jump Program to Marianne Fairall.

Salisbury Winter
Sports Association
(SWSA) parents and
team members of-
ten have to stammer
though explanations of
what ski jumping is and
why we would spend
hours on the road for
what adds up to less
than a minute of actual
ight time. Overcoming the rst query is often
harder than the second.
The ABC series, Wide World of Sports, was lled
Traveling with the Team
Peter Gilbert
with compelling sports drama of the 1970s and 80s,
but it did a great disservice to ski jumping with the
repetitive striking visual of ski jumpers tumbling
down the landing hill while the announcer stressed
the agony of defeat. Those jumpers usually ended
up with little more than a bruised ego, but the sport
itself, unfairly characterized as dangerous, was dealt
a damaging blow. In fact, most other winter sports
have a much higher risk of injury. The response to
the other common question of why we committed to
ski jumping is quite simple: our kids love it.
Full disclosure: Many of us are parents of hockey,
soccer, baseball and lacrosse adoring kids as well.
However, the culture of ski jumping and Nordic
combined (competitions that combine ski jump-
ing scoring and cross country skiing times) is never
adversarial and never anything but supportive,
welcoming and fun. From Lake Placid, New York,
to Hanover, New Hampshire, and home again, one
meets other jumpers or former jumpers, who talk
about a commitment to perpetuating a sport and it
traditions and legacies. There is more than a respon-
sibility to oneself or ones own team. The more we
travel the more the kids know they are part of a large
community dedicated to making the sport our-
ish again. They are a community that values each
of them, their participation, and their dedication to
their club as well.
The highlight for most of the SWSA jumpers has
been training and competition trips to Lake Placid,
New York, home of the 1932 and 1980 Winter Olym-
pics. Driving west on NY Route 73 headed into Lake
Placid, you literally run into the K120 and K90
ski jump towers. Flashing lights on the top of the
towers serve as warnings to passing airplanes.
Over the course of a winter season and a summer
(yes, even the younger jumpers can train on the
K18 grass during June, July and August) Team
SWSA might travel to Lake Placid up to six times
a year and other Northeastern hot spots (New
Hampshire, Vermont or Maine). Of course,
these trips are optional, but completely necessary
to extend the season beyond the natural winter.
Our trips are now all about the spirit of adven-
ture and leaving the comfort zone: something
every athlete has to do to progress. Cell phones,
iPods and video games are replaced by time with
family, new friends and novel experiences in cool
towns dedicated to other lifestyles. Improvised
games of capture the ag or building snow forts
are inclusive of every age or stage of jumper.
Traveling is part of the collective experi-
ence and it bonds us as a team, but our home
base offers a a facility few American towns can
duplicate. Satre Hill is a safe, fun environment
with outstanding people at the helm. To nd
great examples of adult leadership, the SWSA
jumpers do not need to look any further than
our President, coach, and world class judge: Ken
Barker. Although he does not make every trip
with the jumpers, his examples of volunteerism
and his work ethic are not lost on the parents or
kids. There are many in the SWSA community
who give countless hours of their free time to the
daily efforts of creating the February Jumpfest,
but they also keep the kids at the forefront of
their mind. Hometown jumpers help the com-
munity stay motivated and focused.
Future Olympians or not, the dedication to
the sport of jumping does not start at the top of
the hill it starts at the bottom with small steps up
a steep incline. When our team members carry
skis up the equivalent of ve ights of stairs for a
ten-second moment of ight, the word commit
takes on a new meaning.

Our sincere thanks to our dedicated donors
& volunteers who made this dream possible
We wish to make our list of donors to the Jump Fund correct and complete. Please contact Rosina Rand at rrands6@comcast.net, or 860.435.2085

The Salisbury Winter Sports Association welcomes fnancial contributions to support on-going improvements
to Satre Hill, and additional needs. Naming opportunities are available for parts of the new tower and the
tower itself, as well as remaining building and program projects. For further information regarding capital
contributions please contact any SWSA Director or Rosina Rand (rrand6@comcast.net or 860.435.2085)
Dear Friends,
It is remarkable to think that one year ago we completed our
state-of-the-art world class tower and hosted both the annual
Eastern Championships and the Junior Olympics. On behalf of
the Board of Directors we wish to extend our heartfelt gratitude
to all who made this terrifc series of events possible.
It is with great pride that we dedicate the 2012 Jumpfest
Program to the donors to the campaign for the New Jump.
Ours was a bold decision and we were rewarded by you, the
donors. We are also indebted to the many hundreds of volunteers
from Salisbury and beyond for their generous support in helping
SWSA achieve a new level of competitive excellence.
The extraordinary members of the committees worked
tirelessly, meeting two times a week for over a year to address
the fundraising campaign in addition to the SWSA-scheduled
needs. We approached individuals for support and we were
rewarded with the enormous swell of local enthusiasm from a
mailed appeal. Our town government, led by First Selectman
Curtis Rand, made fnancing possible so we could be ready in
time for the 2011 program.
Our gifts ranged from $1 to $100,000, and every single
dollar was essential to our cause. Some people even gave two
and three times to get us to where we needed to be. Our jump
thermometer alerted the public when we advanced the totals.
We were constantly touched by the generosity of our donors,
volunteers, advertisers, sponsors and donors-in-kind, some of
whom have been attending our jumps for over 60 years.
With sincere gratitude for your faith in our project, we look
forward to a sustained commitment to the tradition of winter
sports in our town.

Re: USSA Ski Jumping/Nordic Combined Club of the Year

Dear Ken,

I want to congratulate the Salisbury Winter Sports Club on having been selected to
receive the 2011 Ski Jumping/Nordic Combined Club of the Year. The Club of the
Year is presented to a USSA Competition Club in each sport, which has distinguished
itself in providing direction to young athletes through high-level competition programs
resulting in athletic success. The USSA athletic management team manages selection
with direction from each USSA sport director. You should take pride in being recognized
for your leadership efforts.

The Jumping/Nordic Combined Sport Committee nominated you for this award and stated
the following, "In 2010 Salisbury Winter Sports Club told USSA that they would raise
significant money, build a new ski jump from scratch and host the Junior National
Championships in less than a year. While it was initially felt that the club had over
promised, SWSC was successful and pulled off one of the best Junior National
Championships ever.

Salisbury went from a club with the sketchiest jump to an awesome venue that held JOs
in just one year with an investment of well over $600,000 and a huge push from an entire
town that helped raise the money and run the eight days of jumping and NC events this
past winter alone. Who else runs eight event days in a single season - except the big
three venues (Lake Placid, Park City, Steamboat) with a full time staff?"

Congratulations to the Salisbury Winter Sports Association for your determination and for
putting your club back on the map as one of our nations top Nordic destinations. You are
well deserving of this award.

Your award will be presented during the USSA Congress 2011 at our Chairmans Awards
Dinner, Friday at 6:30 p.m., May 20 at the Park City Marriott. I hope that you and a guest
will be able to join us for the presentation. If not, we will ensure that your award is sent to
you.

Marianne Fairall was full of life, with tremen-
dous ability and drive, a positive attitude and a
beautiful smile. Whatever interests her children
pursued, Marianne was quick to supply both the
talent and the energy to support them. Her son
Nicholas followed his sister Beth into ski jump-
ing and Marianne followed too, organizing trips
and raising funds. She almost single-handedly
transformed Eastern Ski Jumping from an or-
ganization with lots of good ideas but no way to
fund them to a non-proft corporation with the
fnancial means to support modest purchases or
projects and to assist developing athletes with the
ever increasing costs of travel and training.
A few years ago, Marianne was diagnosed with
a rare form of brain cancer. As she battled the dis-
ease, through three bouts of brain surgery, Mari-
anne bravely continued her work for ski jumping.
She never quit, and she never lost her smile.
For several seasons, Marianne followed the
Eastern U.S. ski jumping circuit as Nicholas grew
from a junior jumper to a top competitor. (Nick
recently placed 23rd in a World Cup Ski Fly-
ing event in Kulm, Austria, with a jump of 170
meters!) Always active and energetic, Marianne
would circulate in the crowd at Satre Hill in Salis-
bury, and at other jumping venues, fashing her
beautiful smile as she sold little cow-bells to raise
funds for Eastern Ski Jumping. She often missed
the Saturday competition in Salisbury as she pre-
pared a room in the White Hart Inn for another
fundraiser, the annual silent auction.
On August 10, 2008, Marianne fnally suc-
cumbed to her illness -- at home, surrounded
by her family. Mariannes son Nicholas made a
simple request about attire for her service ... we
would appreciate if people wore light colors to the
funeral because I know my mom would not like
it if she saw a bunch of people mourning over her
and making a big fuss about it. (Thats just the
way my mom is).
Nick led the way in cheerful attire with a pink
sport coat, while his father Martin wore a sport
jacket in a light hue of purple. Marianne will be
greatly missed.
As we recall her radiant smile and her bound-
less energy on behalf of Eastern Ski Jumping, we
dedicate the 2009 Salisbury Winter Sports Asso-
ciation Ski Jump Program to Marianne Fairall.

Enjoying Your Day At the Jumps
Andes Hruby
This is a weekend to
show off your survival
skills as Northeastern
Warriors, not your
passion for fashion.
Jumpfest can be lled
with February sun-
shine but the uctu-
ating climate in this
corner of Connecticut
can be less than a thrill
if you catch a chill.
Here are some tips to
keeping your ngers and toes toasty:
The bonre crackles all day but it is best
not to stagger through the crowd in your sti-
letto high-heeled shoes. You will be standing
on snow. A eece coat or jacket that repels
water, a wool sweater, your warmest boots,
comfortable socks, and a layer of sweat-
wicking long underwear, are recommended
options for staying warm all day. Forget the
velvet cape and the frilly fringe. Make sure
your accessories include hats, scarves, and
mittens.
Did you forget something? Our local
sport-savvy Peter Becks Store will be on site
selling hand-warmers, hats, gloves, scarves
and the new line of Salisbury Winter Sport
Association Apparel! A portion of every
purchase will be contributed to SWSA. A
larger selection of cozy comfort clothing will
be available a few meters away at the store, 19
Main St, Salisbury, CT, 06068. Phone: (860)
596-4217. www.peterbecks.com.
Parking is free but the short walk to the
event is usually over solid snow pack. Light
and simple slip on traction devices (like Yak
Trax, Grip Lites or Ice Trekkers) make it easy
to stay grounded.
The bleacher space is lled with friendly faces
but sometimes very crowded. A light lawn chair or
camping stool is a great way to settle in and judge
the jumpers.
Cowbells traditionally serve as the encouraging
background sound for every leaping competitor.
You can purchase one ahead of time but they are
also available on site in fun bright colors to match
your mood. Each one you purchase helps support
the entire Eastern ski jumpers.
At the base of the jumps a traditional ski hut
transforms into a snack shack for beverages and
warm meals.
To observe the jumpers soaring overhead sun-
glasses or goggles are recommended.
Snow reects the suns ultraviolet rays. Sunscreen
is as important on the snow as it is in the sand.
Pets are like family, but it is best for everyone
involved to leave them at home.
Shake hands with future Olympians but be
mindful to stay behind the bails of hay that serve as
boundaries for the Jumpers on the outrun.
Please check www.jumpfest.org for weather
delays or cancellations. Our snowmaking capacity
is top notch but high winds or rain might altar the
plan.
When I was
selected as the Co-
Chair, of the Junior
Olympic Organizing
Committee I had no
idea what lay ahead. I
had lived in Switzer-
land for over a decade
and I was sure a bit
of snowmaking and a
touch of skiing wasnt
beyond my reach
of comprehension.
I had also worked
for a prominent
bank so a bit of
fundraising and
meticulous Swiss
organization skills were on my side. What I least
expected was the depth and passion I would
begin to feel as I watched my small hometown
convert an outdated landmark to a new state-of-
the-art facility.
Formally known as the USSA Junior Cham-
pionships, the Junior Olympics are the pre-
mier national event for jumpers ages 12-17
that showcases their skills over ve days of Ski
Jumping and Nordic Combined competitions.
Featuring more than 50 athletes from the US Ski
and Snowboard Association (USSA) Divisions
Central, Eastern, Intermountain and Rocky
Mountainthe Junior Olympics are the nal
qualifying step toward international competi-
tions, including the Winter Olympic Games.
It was my job to help create the schedule,
make sure the contacts were valid, the insurances
correct, the sponsors were happy, logistics owed
smoothly and the technicalities were taken care
of. Most of all I was continually focused on
encouraging my village to dedicate itself on an
entirely volunteer basis to create a dynamic event
that would equal those held at other heavily
bank-rolled venues.
Salisbury went from an outdated jump to an
top notch venue that did not just host the Junior
Olympics but ensured a challenging, emotional
and physical experience for the competition.
With a huge push from an entire town, the eight-
day event rivaled the big three venues (Anchor-
age, Park City and Steamboat).
The Junior Olympics were amazing. They
seemed to balance the demand of the techno-
logically advanced century and the need to hold
on to tradition. There were days and nights of
planning and organizing, emailing and calling.
Days of snow and sun, fabulous cooperation,
tireless volunteers taking time off from jobs and
families to create an awesome venue. When
they were over, we were left with incredible
memories. The excitement and pageantry of the
opening ceremonies: who knew there were so
many emergency vehicles, and that their strobes
would light up the town? Competitors and
coaches from across the country delighted in
the spirit shown by our volunteer remen who
directed trafc and then served up a delicious
pasta dinner!
Pre-competition began with practice ses-
sions on the new jump, trial-and-error trips to
Mohawk Mountain (and we turn which way
at what covered bridge?), box lunches from La
Bonnes and enough homemade baked goods to sat-
isfy even the hungriest young competitor. The days
ew by. The sun shone and the snow was fantastic.
The new tower performed like a dream. Mohawk
provided a Nordic course that was challenging and
accessible. Our town and each shop, deli, store, gas
station, hotel, home and restaurant received compli-
ment after compliment.
As for the unpredictable weather we were
charmed just one-day of slush and rain without
competition. But the young competitors took it in
stride, and it was an amazing sight to watch them
training in the wet snow with an intense run up the
jump towers 112 steps after dinner.
Too soon, the jumps were jumped, the races
run, and it was time to celebrate the winners. The
awards dinner and ceremony honored both the
individuals and the teams who performed to their
fullest. When it was time to say good-bye to new
friends, I could not help but promise to do it
again. We met one last time on the steps of the
Scoville Library to recognize the competitors, the
volunteers and the town. When we extinguished
our Olympic ame that had burned brightly
throughout the week, there remained in each of
us an inner dedication to make sure we made it all
happen again next time.

What is SWSA and what do we do?
What is SWSA?
Salisbury Winter Sports Association is a non-
prot, all-volunteer organization that is governed by
a 20-member board of directors. Membership and
meetings are open to everyone.
Satre Hill, SWSAs jumping venue, consists of
20, 30, and 65-meter hills. It is located in Salisbury,
Connecticut, a picturesque New England village in
the Berkshire Hills about two hours from New York
City, one hour from Hartford, and less than three
hours from Boston.
In 1926, Norwegian immigrant John Satre jumped
off a local barn roof to demonstrate the beloved
sport of his native country. SWSA has been support-
ing jumping, crosscountry and Alpine skiing, ever
since.
In February 2011, SWSA will host the U.S. Junior
Olympics in Jumping and Nordic Combined. This
is the premier national event for jumpers and skiers
aged 17 and younger. It is a key steppingstone to
international and Olympic competitions.
What does SWSA do?
The Salisbury Winter Sports Associations main
activity is hosting the annual three-day Jumpfest
Weekend, which comprises the U.S. Eastern Champi-
onships and is the nal selection event for the East-
ern Junior Olympic team. SWSA has several other
community activities:
SWSA teaches jumping to 20-30 boys and girls
annually with the objective of developing them into
serious competitors and provides opportunities for
training two to three times a week during the season.
SWSA holds an annual Holiday Jump Camp for
interested novices and offers training and equipment
support.
SWSA provides nancial support for jumpers to
attend training camps and regional competitions.
SWSA raises money, primarily through the an-
nual Ski Swap in December, to support downhill
and cross-country ski programs at local elementary
schools, beneting as many as 200 skiers with nan-
cial aid and equipment annually
SWSA maintains cross-country ski trails on Sell-
eck Hill for the benet of members.

How To Get To The Jumps
Satre Ski Jumps,

Jumpfest: Just the Facts Maam
What I Learned When My
Child Became a Ski Jumper
Caroline Gilbert
Caroline Gilbert
SWSA Board Member
Ski jumpers go for
distance, not height.
Their jumps roughly
parallel the contour of
the hill.
After a year of jump-
ing my child showed
marked changes in self-
condence that mani-
fested itself in his every day life.
The community of jumpers, small and close-knit,
supports all its members, no matter the competence
or age. Cheers of encouragement reward equally
soaring perfection and brave attempts.
If your equipment needs adjustment, breaks or is
faulty, team members and even competitors go out
of their way to help nd a new set of skis for you to
be able to participate.
When my child sits next to Olympians and inter-
national competitors, he forms new goals and aspira-

Partnerships: Mohawk Mountain
industry. Besides being the rst area in Connecticut it is
also the rst in the country to make snow.
After two great snow years, the 1950 season brought
cold gray frozen ground, but not a ake of snow. Walt
had to nd a way to offer skiable conditions. Ice!
Shaved Ice! Mohawk became the rst ski area to offer
skiing on man made snow.
That got Walt thinking about nding a way to
make snow. Mohawk was the rst area in America to
offer consistent conditions by using machine made
snow. Dad would be really impressed with modern
snow making systems, says Lugar. He was really a
pioneer in the science and would be delighted to see the
technology that has developed.
Some of the original narrow winding wooded trails
that Walt cut are still used at Mohawk. The mountain
skis much bigger than its 640 foot vertical because of
those tree lined trails.
In the summer of 1989 a massive storm moved
southeast into Connecticut. As the storm ran over the
mountains it formed tornadoes, and two struck
Mohawk. In a few minutes what had taken 40 years
to build was nearly destroyed.
Shattered and broken trees were spread over the
trails. Lift towers were torn from their bases and
chairs ripped off of cables. The roof was lifted off
of the base lodge and Pine Lodge, at mid mountain,
was reduced to a pile of rubble. Torrential rain
eroded what was left of ski trails and the skating
pond was lled with mud and debris.
With the help of many, Mohawk opened for the
1990 season. It took almost ten years to completely
rebuild and make some improvements in the area.
There are 25 separate trails running from top to
bottom and seven chair lifts.
The Pine Lodge Restaurant a mid-mountain res-
taurant that serves hearty, home-cooked, sit-down
meals every noon. Pine Lodge is a welcome respite
to tired, hungry skiers.
Mohawk has three personalities. The older
crowd straps on the boards as the lifts open and
tracks the corduroy until about two in the after-
noon. Convoys of yellow busses take over the park-
ing lot after school. At nightfall, when the lights
come on, the twenty-something speedsters show up
for a few hours of bumps and jumps.
In 2011 Mohawk Mountain partnered with
Salisbury Winter Sports Association to host the
Nordic Skiing portion of the Junior Olympics.
Both competitors and spectators praised the
cross-country course. Mohawk complimented the
efforts of the region in hosting a remarkable Junior
Olympic Event.
Mohawk Mountain, 12 miles west of Torrington
Rt. #4, is less than an hour from the center of
Hartford. Its a modern, full service ski area with
ski and rental shops, a professional ski school and
quality cafeteria.
Over the past decade, Mohawk Mountain has
continued to grow and adapt with upgraded and
replaced lifts, renovated facilities and new tech-
nologies. True to the traditions established by
Walt yet agile enough to stay on the cutting edge
for snowmaking, grooming, and customer ser-
vice. Leadership at the mountain is consistent and
stable, provided by Carol Lugar and Steve Hedden,
who joined the staff in 1964.
As we embark on our 65th season of SNOW
MUCH FUN:
We hope you enjoy
what we have to offer.
Walt Schoenknecht
Early snowmaking
setup at Mohawk
Mountain.
Near the dawn of history for New England skiing a
man with vision opened a ski area in Connecticut, and
over sixty-ve years later Mohawk Mountain is still
growing and prospering.
The skiing pioneer was Walter Schoenknecht, an
avid skier and Marine Corps veteran with a dream. In
1947 he acquired the rights to cut ski trails in the State
Forest on Connecticuts third-highest mountain. Walt
Schoenknecht had planned to open mid January 1948,
but in late December a massive snow storm dumped a
load on his mountain. Thus, a ski area was christened
only a few weeks after Walts daughter, Carol, was born.
Mohawk Mountain in Cornwall, is still owned
and operated by the Schoenknecht family. I had the
best childhood a girl could have, says Carol S. Lugar,
President of Mohawk Inc., I grew up skiing all over the
world with my father and made many lifelong friends
both in and out of the industry. She is the only woman
in North America that owns and manages a ski area.
Mohawk can claim a great many rsts in the ski
