Not much is happening on campus, as defined by the village. Proctor's property, however spans an entire river valley, from the heights of Ragged Mountain to the top of the ski area at Blackwater Hill.

The image above shows the two facilities that are operative today: the ski jumps (left) and the Burden race trail. Tim Norris is conducting a jumping camp today, while we are hosting the Buddy Werner ski racing program--for little kids--that goes on throughout the winter. Both programs are served by the rope tow.

This is ironic, because--just a few hundred yards to the west--the new T-bar has finally been tested, State inspected and is ready to provide decades of service to the top of the hill.

Most of the action is on the ski jumps, where the jumping clinic has attracted a whole range of novice jumpers.

Here's his jump:
