A ski jumper wows the crowd.

Olympic ski jumpers from around the world made the trek to Brattleboro, Vermont this weekend for the 100th annual Harris Hill Ski Jump. On Saturday, the snow was falling furiously, which only heightened the extreme experience. The event was so much fun. To see these ski jumpers, some just teenagers, go for the glory high up in the air was inspiring and unforgettable. Some were Olympians. Others were aspiring Olympians. All of them were world-class athletes. 

There was plenty of delicious food to warm us all up. Whetstone Station was one of the events sponsors. They were there with a bunch of their beers on tap and serving them in special Harris Hill Sky Jump 100th anniversary souvenir cups. I enjoyed a Penguin Porter. Walking up and down the hill all day is enough to make anyone hungry. So, many of spend the day grazing at the many food tents. I enjoyed a pulled pork sandwich from Brattleboro's Grouger BBQ. A heaping portion of the heavenly meat was served on a bulkie roll and topped off with cole slaw. The most unique eat of the day was a racelette cheese plate. The Vermont-made cheese is fried using special machines and the ooey gooey cheese is poured over potatoes and bread and served with pickles. It' a Swiss dish and as a cheese lover, I am so glad I tried it!
