The tournament is not for those who normally spend time on the bunny hill. It is an official USA Nordic U.S. Cup event. It boasts elite U.S. ski jumpers who will take on the notorious “Suicide Hill.”
In addition, a Junior Ski Jumping tournament will be held that weekend as well. This year’s junior tournament is a qualifier competition to see who will attend the USA Nordic Junior Championships in Alaska.
