New Event! Gelande Jumping!
Alpine Ski Jumping (Gelande) Comes to Salisbury
Salisbury Winter Sports Association (SWSA) has added an exciting new event to its winter schedule this year! On Saturday and Sunday, January 28th and 29th, SWSA will host the first Winter Carnival and Gelande Exhibition.
Gelande (also known as Alpine ski jumping) is a form of skiing where the athletes ski jump off a tower using downhill ski equipment. Also, Gelande jumpers shun the tracks which are cut into the inrun (ski tower ramp) which safely aim a jumper onto the exact middle of the landing hill. As SWSA president Ken Barker notes, “These guys are crazy!”
