Norge Recap

This year, the weather was on our side. The temperatures allowed for snow making for 5 days prior to the tournaments. Norge members and friends were out every day and into every night to get all five hills ready. And ready they were! I heard many favorable comments. Personally, I don't think the place could have  looked any better.

 

31 jumpers competed on the 5, 10, 20, & 40 under the bluest skies this side of the Rockies. 15 more jumpers competed on the 70 meter for a JO qualifier. Needless to say, not only did the sizable crowd enjoy terrific ski jumping, but they did so under ideal weather enjoying music and food.

 

Saturday night was the Bob Immens Memorial Tournament. This year was a longest standing format. Bonfire, music, and great ski jumping- a perfect way to spend an evening in January!

 

On Sunday, 42 competitors gave quite a show. The crowd of around 1800 not only got to see the best ski jumpers in the country, but they also got to see the Bears win the playoff game.

It was a great day for all!
