NYSEF offers year-round training in ski jumping and nordic combined in the Lake Placid area. Athletes as young as 7 years old begin jumping with a focus on the FUNdamentals of the sport. Anyone who has driven through Lake Placid knows the spectacular view of the Olympic Jumping Complex - one of the most recognizable competition venues from the 1980 Winter Olympics. This is the venue which our jumping athletes call home. The Jumping Complex has undergone enhancements, which has made it the most modern and one of the best ski jumping training facilities in North America. As of 2020, it is the first venue with a new, refrigerated track on the 90 and 120 meter jumps.

Athletes learn to fly on the K20 jump and often progress to the K48 quickly. As jumpers fine-tune their skills, they move to the towers of the K90 and K120. Athletes also get a dose of cross-country with the option of pursuing nordic combined. Several Olympians have come through the NYSEF program, including 2010 Gold Medalist in nordic combined, Billy Demong.
