Harris Hill Ski Jump and the 'Art of Flying'
For more than 100 years, the Harris Hill Ski Jump has stood as a beacon on the local landscape. Every February, Harris Hill comes alive as thousands of people gather to watch ski jumpers from around the world soar above their heads at speeds up to 60 miles per hour. This episode brings the thrills of this event to life as jumpers fly, crowds roar and cowbells ring and the sensations of flight are evocatively shared. Local Brattleboro radio and podcast host Peter Case narrates three perspectives on Harris Hill. First, (from 1:38 to 6:16) the internationally recognized 'voice of skiing' Peter Graves shares the flavor and history of Harris Hill and describes Harris, the man whose vision and persistence shaped this unique Brattleboro event. Then (from 8:20 to 13:20) we hear an evocative memoir written and narrated by jumper Chris Lamb, who held the Harris Hill record for seven years. Lamb eloquently describes the physical preparation required and the sensations he experiences during ‘the art of flight.’ The episode ends (from 14:00 to 18:00) with reflections on the long and deep native American presence at this place we now call Harris Hill from Elnu Abenaki representative and Atowi project director Rich Holschuh. Episode narrator Case closes with a reference to the 2022 book that marked the 100th anniversary of the event: Harris Hill Ski Jump: The First Hundred Years.
