Work underway on Nansen Ski Jump landing hill

MILAN — Work on reprofiling the landing hill on the Big Nansen Ski Jump is underway. When that work is finished, the Friends of the Big Nansen, a committee of the Nansen Ski Club, have plans to build one “high school” sized jumping hill and a smaller beginner hill on the same site before the end of summer.

Contractor Lee T. Corrigan of Gorham began work at the end of June clearing the big hill and over the next six weeks will reprofile the hill based on a design prepared by the country’s preeminent ski jump designer, Matt Gundry of CBS Squared Inc.
