Brattleboro Outing Club

 For most of its long history (until 2003) the ski jumping competition was part of the Brattleboro Outing Club. Harris Hill continues its association with the Brattleboro Outing Club, which in 2012 transferred ownership of the hill to Harris Hill Ski Jump, Inc. The two groups share a rich and colorful history of ski jumping in Brattleboro.
 

Windham Foundation

The Windham Foundation, a nonprofit organization whose mission is to promote Vermont's rural communities, owns much of the land where the ski jump is held, including the fields for the event all land surrounding the jump itself and the landing hill! Harris Hill Ski Jump works in conjunction with the Foundation to ensure the best possible event for its athletes and spectators.
