Already since 1960s there has been a ski jumping hill at Kancamagus Highway west of Conway. Since 2008, the 30-meter hill has been used and maintained by Kennett High School. Since 2011, annual competitions as part of the New Hampshire high school ski jumping meets have been held there. In 2018, the club "Mount Washington Valley Ski Jumping" was founded in order to promote ski jumping in Conway.

Post comment:
Just want to add to the history of the creation of this jump on the Kanc. My dad, Thomas Currier of Madison, who became the Chief Engineer of the NH State Highway Dept., designed and oversaw the construction of the jump in 1964. He was not a pure ski jumper himself, but was an avid, proficient skier and was obviously well-versed in slope profiles and large cut/fill operations. He immersed himself in the design parameters of modern ski hill design and this was his only project in the genre. My brothers, Thomas Jr. and Jesse, and I jumped on the hill throughout our high school careers. thx
