July Fourth Ski Jumping Extravaganza ready to take off this weekend
Steamboat Springs Winter Sports Club Nordic skiing director Todd Wilson wouldn’t be surprised to see more than 2,000 spectators standing at the base of Howelsen Hill on Sunday. The crowd will be on hand to watch one of Steamboat Springs’ longest-running winter traditions — ski jumping — take flight in the warm July air during the July Fourth Ski Jumping Extravaganza. This is the fifth year the event will be held on Howelsen’s plastic-covered K-68 ski jump.
The Ski Jumping Extravaganza will take place Saturday and Sunday. The competition begins at 9 a.m. Saturday with a trial jump round and two competitive jumps. The competitive jumps will be used to seed the Nordic combined cross-country roller-ski race Sunday morning.
