Bakke Cup

Come to Ski Hill to participate or watch a great day of skiing events: Ski Jumping, Nordic & Alpine Races. All children are welcome to participate and all proceeds will benefit the Junior Alpine Team. The Bakke Cup is really a 3-way race. Kids are encouraged to do at least 2 of the 3 events. The event is open to any youth ages 6 through 17. Age Groups: 6-7, 8-9, 10-11, 12-13, 14-17. Contact alpineteam@skileavenworth.com with questions.

Bakke isn’t just a name- Kjell Bakke, for whom the race is named after, is a constant supporter of the LWSC and kids programs. He has witnessed the North American Distance Records set at the Leavenworth Ski Hill and is a descendant of the men that constructed Bakke Hill in the 1920’s. Bakke Hill was the site of the National Ski Jumping Championships in 1941, 1959, 1967, 1974 and 1978. Getting kids out on the snow and having fun is the idea behind the day. We want kids to leave with good memories and lots of smiles.
