Western WI ski jump facility renovated & ready for competition
EAU CLAIRE, Wis. (WQOW) - It took years of planning and building, but the new Mt. Washington ski jump is set to be showcased for the first time this weekend.
The Flying Eagles Invitational begins Saturday at Mt. Washington, where junior ski jumpers will get the chance to test the new 55-meter jump towering over Eau Claire s west side.
The $1 million-plus project has been ongoing for three years, and tens of thousands of volunteers hours have been put into creating the state-of-the-art jump.
One of the organizers says the jump s addition could turn the complex into one of the top facilities in the nation.
