History:
Winter sports activities at Latchis Ski Park started in 1948. In addition to Harris Hill, which was already a 70-meter hill at that time, in 1952 John Latchis, Fred Harris and Terry Tyler built a 30-meter hill there. The ski jump was beautifully situated and had an attractive profile, but it was washed away by the snowmelt in the spring of 1953. Latchis Ski Jump was able to be restored through a great deal of work and heavy soil movements.
In the mid-1950s, the hill was threatened by the construction of the Interstate 91 highway. In December 1956, John Latchis succeeded in court, who ordered the planned motorway exit to be relocated so that the ski jump could be preserved - but the alpine ski area had to give way. The hill was very popular with young jumpers and was also the venue for numerous local championships. Over the years it was rebuilt and expanded. The last competition took place in February 1979. Today there is a shopping center on the site.
