MILAN, N.H. (AP) — Some of the Northeast’s best young ski jumpers took flight at the country’s oldest ski club on Sunday.

The Eastern Ski Jumping Meet took place at the Nansen Ski Club in the shadow of one of the nation’s oldest jumps during Milan’s 102nd annual winter carnival in northern New Hampshire. On Sunday, the Eastern Meet competitors aged 5 to 18 used two smaller jumps, and girls made up about 44% of the competitors.
