A ski jump championship
Item Information
- Title:
- A ski jump championship
- Description:
-
One of Lancaster's most eagerly awaited winter sporting events was the Massachusetts State Ski Jump Championship. The event, which began in 1928, was sponsored by the Lancaster Outing Club and was held each February 22 on George Hill. Related events included a five-mile cross-country skiing trek and the crowning of a ski queen at the Lancaster Town Hall Annual Ski Ball. With the threat of World War II, interest in the event declined and the last event meet was held c. 1943.
