Jump Practice Schedule TBD...Contact Coach Ken for Details

kennethsbarker@gmail.com

Details for cross country skiing practice to come soon!

Happy New Year! "Jump Camp" a Huge Success!



Coach Ken Barker-and many other remarkable volunteers-from SWSA put together two great days of jumping on the K20 at Satre Hill. The Blizzard of '10 created a challenge in preparing the hill, but they got it done! More importantly, the new jumpers got it done!

A total of 26 athletes showed up-optimism in numbers for the continued growth of Team SWSA! Some of the new, two day "veterans" were already in jumping skis and/or going from the top of the jump.

Side note-apparently massive quantities of pizza, pasta, bread, cocoa and chicken soup were devoured.

Looks like SWSA needs a bigger parking lot...

Thanks to coaches Julian and Andrew, too.

Lake Placid-"Training Day"-12/4/2010



Road trip! Caleb, Arenal and Jeremy (with an assortment of parents) travelled to the High Peaks after a kind invite from the NYSEF coaches to join our jumping brothers and sisters (albeit older siblings) from the Granite State.

One group tested the Northway Motel...good reviews! The other combo platter rocked it old school style (thus, see the vintage patch to the left) and did an "up and back" trip.

The weather was fine and the jumps were fast and long. Coaches Dave and Evan gave Team SWSA lots of tips, confidence and high fives.

When asked about the day, one tired Salisbury jumper proclaimed, "When do we get to come back?!"

Stay tuned for news from Coach Ken about snow making on the K20 at Satre Hill!
