SPSC Summer Training Camp:  June 27-29, 2008 : The St Paul Ski Club hosted their first Summer Central Division Training Camp. Friday night we started the weekend with a few hours of training - the jumpers had to dodge a few showers, but it didn't bother them, they were ready and willing!  Saturday brought intermittent showers as well, but over all a good day of jumping.  Sunday was sunny and windy - another fun day.  We had jumpers from Ishpeming, Coleraine, Iola, Madison and Eau Claire. The weekend training ended with a fun competition on the 20M and the 46M jumps. We had 26 skiers on Saturday and 20 skiers on Sunday what a great turn out!  Thank you to all the skiers and families who helped make this weekend a big success!!!
