- NH High School Ski Jumping Meet February 4, 2015
Ten New Hampshire schools brought their ski jumping teams to Oak Hill to compete on the evening of January 28. A glowing path of ice candles guided the spectators towards the jumps, where a good crowd gathered to cheer on the competitors. Hanover High School won the competition with 388 points, and 4 jumpers in the top 10. The event was well organized, and a lot of fun to watch! Thanks to Tihana Strnad for the photos and videos.
