On this episode of Outdoor Explorer, we talk about ski jumping with the Anchorage Ski Jumping Club. Our guests will be Karen Compton and Zak Hamill. Karen has been instrumental in the recent dramatic growth of the Anchorage Jumping Club, and she’s also a parent of two ski jumpers. Zak Hamill is the Club’s program director and head coach. Have you ever wanted to become a ski jumper? It’s not as far-fetched an idea as you might think!
