Habovstak Flying
Steve Habovstak, adult beginner just a few years ago, flies to a 2001 National Masters title in Park City.

Until 1980, a single national championship was held where champions were crowned in Junior, Senior, and Veterans Classes. The new Olympic jumping facility in Lake Placid made it natural to hold National Championship events on two hills (normal hill, K-90 and large hill, K-120). However, in some seasons, only one championship is scheduled.

For assembling lists of champions, thanks are due to the late Gloria Chadwick, tireless worker for American skiing, and Ray Wick, creator of the Duluth Ski Club Annual Souvenir Booklet. Recent records have been assembled by Don West who welcomes any related information by mail at 9 Addoms St., Plattsburgh, NY, 12901 or by e-mail.

# in 2009, Todd Lodwick, age 32, declined to be considered a Masters competitor. (DCW)
