The Salisbury Winter Sports Association is set to celebrate a century of ski jumping excitement.

JumpFest returns to Satre Hill from February 6-8, as future Olympic hopefuls will take to the slopes to soar off the jumps. The annual Human Dog Sled Race will be held after ski jumping festivities on Friday, Feb. 6, as teams of six power sleds down a 0.3-mile track. Five teammates pull, one rides shotgun—no huskies required.

Awards will be given out for the fastest team, as well as the People’s Choice Award, which will go to the most creative costumes and wildest sled designs.

Registration for the Human Dog Sled Race is $25 per team, open now through Feb. 6 at Jumpfest.org. Entry for fans is free, and there will be food, drinks and a fireworks show after the action.

The ski jumping championship concludes Feb. 8.
