MILAN — Work on re-profiling the landing hill on the Big Nansen Ski Jump is underway. And when that is finished, Friends of the Big Nansen, a committee of the Nansen Ski Club, plan to build a “high school”-sized jumping hill and a smaller beginner hill at the site by summer's end.

At the end of June, contractor Lee T. Corrigan of Gorham began clearing the big hill and over the next six weeks will re-profile it based on a design from  pre-eminent ski jump designer Matt Gundry of Wisconsin-based CBS Squared Inc.
