Announcing a $25,000 matching gift!
A longtime friend of Harris Hill has offered a $25,000 matching gift towards the renovations to the deck of the in-run.
The centerpiece of the match is a new system of filling the track with snow.
The new process will provide a huge savings in time and manpower over the old. Snow won’t have to be trucked 3/10ths of a mile from the landing hill through the trails to the top of the tower. The new method takes snow from the takeoff. A cart filled with snow gets winched up and down the in-run to fill the track.
The new system will pay itself back through annual savings.

Harris Hill Ski Jump is getting an upgrade this summer with the replacement of the wooden decking on the in-run, a new ski track, walkway, sideboards and more!
To help fund these improvements, we’re re-launching the original Step Up & Soar campaign to sell all the remaining steps—there are only 35 left! https://harrishillskijump.com/harris-hill-steps
Buy a step for $1,000 in your name, in memory of, or in honor of family, friends, jumpers. Groups of friends, businesses and organizations can all buy a step.
