For information on upcoming events, go to parkcitymountain.com or call Out of all the American teams cheering for the selection of the Italy Olympics in 2026, USA Nordic perhaps has reason to cheer the loudest. The venues are storied for USA Nordic teams – ski jumping and Nordic combined – and the U.S. athletes have had some of their best moments there. More generally, the team will likely be as well positioned as it ever has going into an Olympic Games. Billy Demong, executive director of USA Nordic, said the Cortina venue, Val de Fieme, is a good one for the Yankees. Among other successes, it’s where Parkite Sarah Hendrickson won the ski jumping World Ski Championships in 2013 and the U.S. took bronze in the team event. It was also one of Demong’s last World Cup podium finishes of his career and where John Spillane won the first Nordic World Ski Championship gold medal for the U.S. in any discipline – a gold in the men’s Nordic Combined 7.5K sprint in 2003. “We have a lot of history there,” Demong said. “We have a lot of friends there.” And while every team always hopes to be at their peak for any Olympics, that might just be true for the Americans.

New faces Last season it added junior national teams for each of its four disciplines – men’s and women’s ski jumping and men’s and women’s Nordic combined. The team added 28 juniors to its official USA roster in hopes of getting the best young U.S. athletes engaged with the team at an age when there is typically a lot of attrition in the sport.

He is part of USA Nordic’s newly formed junior national team. The team, get a feel for international competition, and meet their international peers. “A big part of it is cultural,” Demong said. “We want to be able to funnel athletes into the national team who already know what it means to be a pro – they already have been involved in sports psychology, they already have experience with sports nutrition, they’ve already been through testing, they know where they need to improve.” Last season, Parkite Greyson Scharffs, now 17, made the first-ever USA Nordic junior national ski jumping team along with seven other boys and eight girls. His generation will likely be hitting its stride in Cortina, having reached their mid-20s. The team is also starting to cash in on a five-year campaign to grow the sport, mainly through camps like the Springer Tournee, which draws youth and junior competitors from around the country to Park City in late July. “The number of kids participating in ski jumping and Nordic combined in the U.S. has almost doubled over a six- to seven-year period,” Demong said. When asked what he thought was the cause for that jump, Demong pointed emphatically at the USA Nordic logo on his shirt. “Because we have a very focused effort from the top down and the bottom out,” he added.

Say cheese Another part of that strategy requires media, which is why it made sense for the governing body to move into the photo studio of Ben Piper in the Silver Summit building in Kimball Junction. USA Nordic had been hopping around for the last few years – three years in what Demong called a “closet” in Bear Hollow, followed by a short stint at a location on the other side of Kimball Junction. USA Nordic had worked with Piper to photograph competitions, and Demong and Piper started talking seriously about a collaboration after women’s ski jumping came under USA Nordic’s purview in 2017. (It was previously organized by Women’s Ski Jumping USA, a Park Citybased nonprofit, which now serves mainly as a fundraiser for athletes). Nine months ago, USA Nordic moved into part of the space while Piper maintained his studio, which works with USA Nordic on a semi-contractual basis while still taking Saturday, June 29, 2019 REGIONAL FORECAST FIVE DAY FORECAST FOR PARK CITY ALMANAC Park City statistics for the week ending June 27 coach specifically for sport development who helps organize tournaments across the East and Midwest and shares best practices with member clubs, which are more numerous in the eastern U.S. They have also restructured their coaching positions to help those athletes once they come on board.
