The Nordic Kids Ski League, formerly called the Bill Koch Ski League, and even earlier, the Torger Tokle Ski League, is an organization committed to promoting Nordic skiing (ski jumping, cross-country skiing, and Nordic Combined competition which includes both of these) for children up to thirteen years old. The 2005 Nordic Kids Ski Festival was hosted by the Lebanon (NH) Outing Club and offered jumping on 10 and 25 meter hills, Nordic Combined events as well as an all-comers team jump on the 48 meter hill which mixed the youngsters with jumpers of all ages. On the 10 and 25 meter hills, jumping results were determined by the best two of each skiers three jumps, with one point per meter. In the 48 meter team event, teams consisted of three or four skiers, with three to score. Standard scoring was used. We were pleased to see that Eric Smith, Chris Baker and John Kelly came out to play with the kids.

Nordic Kids Nordic Combined Saturday, March 5, 2005 The Competition Director, Czar Cannonball, was called upon to make some hard decisions during the day, and we are pleased to report that he always made the forgiving call. For example, Spencer Knickerbocker arrived too late for the 25 meter jumping, but he was given a cross country handicap anyway and permitted to run the race.
