LAKE PLACID, N.Y. --- Celebrate the New Year—Lake Placid style. Watch the high-flying action as ski jumpers launch themselves from the top of the 90-meter ski jump and soar the length of a football, Friday and Saturday, Dec. 28-29, in Lake Placid, N.Y.

Several of the United States’ top up-and-coming ski jumpers return to the famed Olympic Jumping Complex to vie for U.S. Cup titles and for a spot on the U.S. Junior World Championship Team.

Following Saturday’s competition, stick around for more breath-taking excitement off the 90-meter tower when these athletes participate in a special one-night only ski jumping exhibition, presented by Paul Smith’s College, at 6 p.m., followed by fireworks at 7 p.m.
