"We are excited to host this fundraising event, said Willie Hallihan. It is a wonderful way to get together in the open air and toast the autumn season for a good cause. Brew-Ski will help us organize the upcoming 53rd annual ski JumpFest in February of 2022. Our all-volunteer staff has been hard at work putting together Brew-Ski with the help of our organizer, Stateline Wine and Spirits. This has become an area tradition that brings everybody back together in a setting of great natural beauty whose centerpiece is the ski jump itself."

ABOUT SALISBURY WINTER SPORTS ASSOCIATION 

In the winter of 1926, John Satre a resident of Salisbury jumped off the roof of his shed wearing skis to show his friends and neighbors a sport he learned in his native homeland of Norway. Town residents were so amazed as they watched Satre soar through the air that they decided to build a proper ski run that summer, and form the Salisbury Winter Sports Association. The Association hosted the first ski jump competition in January
