U14 Ski Jumping, ages 12-14

U14 Ski Jumping is an intermediate to advanced Ski Jumping and Nordic Combined program for those who have experienced the fundamentals of jumping and nordic combined on nordic gear. Through exposure to jumps up to and including the HS75, participants continue to build confidence and improve jumping skills while nordic combined athletes also progress the fundamentals of cross country ski training. The program provides learning through fun, structured training sessions and competitions. Participants compete in Hitchens Brothers’ Wednesday Night Jump Series, Steamboat Cup Series and local and regional jumping, cross country and nordic combined competitions.
