The Springertournee is being held July 27 through August 1 and US Nationals will take place on the same jumps on July 30-31. Overall, 22 skiers from the Central Division should make a strong midwest showing at these national tournaments. St Paul Ski Club's coach, Brian Nelson will be coaching the Central Division team at both tournaments.

Summer Jump Training On Hold For Several Weeks

The SPSC jump complex has been open all summer for practice on Tuesday and Thursday evenings starting at 6:30. As our coach and top athletes are in Park City for Springertournee and the US Nationals, these practice sessions are suspended until they return in August.

Annual SPSC Awards Banquet Held April 13    view program & awards list.

A quick melting and a dousing of rain in March brought an abrupt halt to our winter jumping. However, the 2009-2010 season didn’t officially end, until April 13, the date of our club banquet, which was held at Tinucci's in Newport. The food, as usual, was delicious and plentiful. However, it was the smiles on our young jumpers’ faces that stole the show. This year, over 40 jumpers were honored, ranging in age from 2 ½ to 16. Each had their own personal accomplishments to celebrate  making it all the way down the landing hill, going off their first jump, improving on their distance or style points, conquering a bigger hill, earning their right to compete in national competitions… a perfect ending to another great season. During our awards ceremony, each jumper was treated to a bag full of prizes and a fabulous trophy, commemorating their individual finish in the club standings. Special honors went to Christian Friberg, Brian Wallace, Trevor Edlund and Elizabeth Wallace, who represented our club, and the Central Division, very well in this year’s Junior Olympic competition in Steamboat Springs CO. In addition, Brian Wallace earned the opportunity to compete internationally at the World Junior Championships, and did us all proud. In our senior division, Karin Friberg continued to jump well for the club and the US Women’s Team. We are looking forward to seeing her jump this summer, after her arm heals (an unfortunate landing of a training jump, put her in a cast, but not out of the hunt for bigger and better things). Thanks to Kris Edlund’s hard work behind the camera and the computer, banquet attendees were treated to another super “Year in Review” video presentation, featuring all our jumpers. While it was a great night for celebrating, I guarantee you that most of our jumpers went home with their minds already set on next season. Summer jumping begins at our hill on June 1.
