The Annual
Lebanon Outing Club
Dion Cup Meet
which also serves as the
New England Summer Ski Jumping Championships
Storrs Hill, Lebanon, NH
Sunday, October 4, 2009
In mid June of 2009 a new adult jumper showed up to start jumping with the Lunatic Fringe at Storrs Hills in Lebanon, NH. Within two months he had invited three more of his fellow terrain-park skiers to come on out and try ski jumping. They have hung around ever since. To add more to the mix in mid-August Walter Malmquist, a former Olympic Nordic Combiner showed up at the hill and started jumping once again for the first time in 23 years. Between the five of them they have managed to bring a whole new life to ski jumping in Lebanon.
The Dion Cup competition has always been held on the Sunday after Labor Day, ever since it began back in 1997. This year there was interest from a few Central Division Masters to come out east and do some jumping. Ishpeming, Michigan holds a summer tournament on the Sunday after Labor Day so the boys from Iola Wisconsin asked if we could change our date. The decision was made to switch the weekend of Dion Cup to the Sunday before Columbus Day so the the Central jumpers could come out and compete in Lebanon and then head up to Lake Placid to watch the US Nationals on Columbus Day Weekend.
As it turned out, one of the two Toms from Iola had travel complications and decided not to make the trip. Tom Moore did show up but decided not to jump since he didn't have any kind of decent training on the hill. The Lunatic Fringe still managed to pull together a group of nine masters and seven kids for the annual summer ski jumping tournament. If the other five masters who were standing on the sidelines watching would have put on skis we could have had as many jumpers at Dion Cup as some of the National Masters Championships have had in the past.
After a wet Saturday, Sunday turned out nice with highs in the low to mid 60's, fall colors in full bloom and the sun popping in and out of the clouds. The jumpers took to the air with a trial round followed by two competitive rounds. Afterwards the nordic combined portion of the events had the jumpers running a 1.4 mile foot race using the Gundersen start. Runners were divided up in age groups and for each point behind the leader in the jumping, the runner received a 2 second handicap -- a delayed start on the run.
Tom Moore brought along a nice gift for the Lebanon Outing Club -- new meter-markers for the landing hill that he made out of plastic. He has been making these signs for the hills out in Iola, Wisconsin and decided to bring along a set for the K25 in Lebanon. They are large and can be seen very easily. Thanks very much Tom for your efforts. (We hope someone will send us a photo that shows the markers on the hill.)
