SWSA

Ever since a winter afternoon in 1925 when a Norwegian immigrant skied off the edge of a barn roof to show the locals the wonder of his sport, ski jumping has held an honored place in Salisbury’s history and in its heart. In its long tenure, ski jumping has helped shape many young lives and has brought both national and international recognition to some of Salisbury’s best athletes. The Salisbury Winter Sports Association (SWSA) and its Satre Hill are well respected throughout the ski jumping world. Its annual competition is a required jump for Junior Olympic hopefuls; its directors who manage the myriad technical issues of putting on a jump have been called “the equal of any jump maintenance crew in the nation” by Lake Placid officials, and the size of our hill provides a necessary transition for learning jumpers to move from small practice hills to the large hills of Lake Placid. But it has never been SWSA alone carrying on this good work. There has long been a partnership between organization and town. It is through the volunteerism and financial support of Salisbury’s residents and businesses that ski jumping has both thrived and survived in Salisbury for over eight decades. And now, SWSA has been granted an extraordinary opportunity and a challenge. And more than ever before, that strong partnership will be necessary to guide Salisbury ski jumping into the future. SWSA is a nn-profit charity organization, 501(c)(3). ID # 06-0672022.
