Ski Jump

another vanished Hanover landmark

Here’s your Sunday jigsaw: https://jigex.com/dE7GX

The 1922 Dartmouth Winter Carnival saw the first competition on the newly constructed jump overlooking the 13th green of the Hanover Country Club golf course.

The tradition continued until 1985, when the NCAA dropped ski jumping. It was torn down in 1993.

The competition attracted thousands of spectators, as evidenced by this photo from 1934.

Note the crowd at the top of the hillside, as well as the stylish skiing garb.
