Grete Eliassen Sets New Women's Hip Jump World Record
14th April 2010
April 12, 2010--Despite unprecedented spring
snow storms, including 22 inches of snow on jump day, The Canyons
Resort's park crew shoveled, cut and shaped more than 45,000 cubic yards
of snow to create the largest snow terrain park feature ever built in
Utah. Why you ask? So Grete Eliassen could achieve a monumental
personal goal and truly change the game in women's skiing. This past
Thursday, Eliassen clicked into her skis, reached speeds of
approximately 60 miles an hour, hit the custom 30-foot tall hip, and
soared more than 31 feet in the air to set an unofficial new world
record for women.
