Harris Hill Ski Jump in Brattleboro, VT is well known as one of the few locations on the east coast for long distance jumping. While it is primarily a volunteer-run event, it draws crowds of people from a great distance.
There is much advanced preparation as the hill is only used one weekend a year. The rest of the year the property is part of a larger swath of land owned and operated by the Brattleboro Retreat Farm. The miles of trails are used daily by hikers, mountain bikers, cross-country skiers and dog walkers.
With mild weather the day before Thanksgiving, I sat on a stone wall at the base of the Harris Ski Jump and painted this in the mist and dew of the afternoon. I studied the umbers and ochers of the fall season as seen in this local landscape.
