Brattleboro Jumping Takes Place Sunday

Little Brattleboro on the sluggish Connecticut glories in its main winter event of the year this Sunday when the Brattleboro Outing Club holds an Open Invitation Ski Jumping Tournament on Hogback Mountain just behind the town.

One of the main jumping tournaments of the East, it is held on a 60-meter hill with entries expected to go as high as 75 including men from Norway and Finland. The late Torger Tokle holds the record for the event with a leap of 230-feet established in 1942.
