Mission Statement
This website is devoted to the rich heritage
of the sport of ski jumping in the USA,
beginning with the first recorded tournament in
1887 at Red Wing MN and continuing through the
present and into the future. It incorporates
the American Ski Jumping Hall of Fame.
ASJ Hall of Fame Induction Nov 2, 2008
The induction ceremony for the 2008 class of inductees to the American Ski Jumping Hall
of Fame was held on Sunday, Nov 2, on the mezzanine of the historic
St James Hotel
in Red Wing MN. Norwegian treats were provided to about 100 guests, including
several inductees and family members. Names of 2007 and 2008 inductees are now posted on
our Hall of Fame page ... click link at top of this page. Thanks to the "Uff Da" shop
for the treats!
Club Memorabilia Sought for Display
We'd like to acquire pins, patches, and stickers with the identity of various ski jumping
clubs, including those no longer active. They'll be included with the historical display
in Red Wing MN, the "Birthplace of American Ski Jumping." Please contact Jerry Borgen via
e-mail if you have such artifacts and would be willing to donate them for this purpose.
Jerry's e-mail address can be found at the bottom of the page.
