Ski Jumping
Once the snow falls ski jumping will be up and running on the "D" hill, behind the lodge at the Leavenworth Ski Hill.
Skiers of all ages are encouraged to come out and give jumping a try. Coaches are on hand to instruct. Beginning jumpers usually start with a ride down the landing hill. After a while you work your way up to going off the 20 meter jump from the lower take-off. Then, with practice, you move up to the upper take-off. A lift takes you back to the top after each run!
It's not nearly as scary as one might think and it's loads of fun. There are kids as young as 7 jumping and adults as old as 72. Come out and join the fun
