The Harris Hill Ski Jump returns in 2026 with a new level of intensity: this year’s competition has been selected as one of the official Junior World Qualifiers for the USA Ski Jumping and Nordic Combined schedule. That means Brattleboro will host many of the top junior athletes in the country as they compete for a place on the final World Junior team.

Spectators can expect the familiar high-energy Harris Hill atmosphere — big crowds gathered on the slope, volunteers everywhere, and a competition that feels handcrafted by the community yet carries the weight of a national qualifier. Organizers anticipate more than 40 competitors representing programs from across the U.S., including Park City, Steamboat Springs, Chicago, Wisconsin, and other major training centers.

Although the Friday session will be closed to the public for practice, the main competition runs Saturday and Sunday, offering two full days of flight, speed, and some of the most electric winter sports energy in New England. As always, Harris Hill’s blend of local tradition and national-level sport makes it one of Brattleboro’s most anticipated winter weekends.
