MILAN — The Nansen Ski Club has been awarded a $40,000 grant through the Northern Forest Center to create two small ski jumping hills next to the big Nansen Ski Jump. The Friends of the Big Nansen Ski Jump Committee, which is spearheading the restoration of the historic jump, sees the small hills as key to its goal of introducing a new generation to the sport of ski jumping.

"We are so grateful to the Northern Forest Center for providing the Nansen Ski Club this exceptional funding opportunity to help us bring back the sport of ski jumping to the North Country,” said Scott Halvorson, treasurer of the Nansen Ski Club.
