Well, pretty soon... you can!
Remember Nat Herz, the reporter who attended Grasshopper Camp #3? He just wrote a great article on Australian up-and-coming Nordic Combined star Ben Sim. Ben, already a promising athlete on the World Cup XC circuit, threw on some jump skis in Germany last spring. Turns out, he had a knack for it! Now, with a grant from the FIS, he's training in Park City and hopes to someday bring ski jumping and nordic combined back to ski areas in Australia!
Check out Nat's full article here: http://fasterskier.com/2010/08/sim-and-australia-take-a-run-at-nordic-combined/
The goal is to create world-class facilities, like ours, at several ski areas in Australia and to turn the Land Down Under into a skispringen mecca!
Make sure to check back to www.fasterskier.com often, becasue Nat is writing a story on Grasshopper Camp! He's going to let those kick-and-gliders know just how rad our sport is, and just how folks can get started. Saw-eeeet!
Coach Dave
