Conway, NH) and Laurenne Ross (Bend, OR), started its on-snow Road to Sochi with a two-week camp in El Colorado.

QUOTES
Anders Johnson, Park City, UT (defending large hill champ, 4-time U.S. Champion)
I love being able to compete on my home hills and it's a great time of year where we have almost every ski jumper in North America in Park City competing on all hill sizes at all ages. It's also a great chance for us to see where our competitive level is before we head over to Europe for the Grand Prix circuit that begins in just a few weeks.
Jessica Jerome, Park City, UT (defending large and normal hill champ, 10-time U.S Champion)
U.S. Championships is always important to us just as any competition is important to us. Just because it's an Olympic year does not make me want to win any more; I always aim to win. It will be interesting to see what happens this year. I know Lindsey [Van] and Sarah [Hendrickson] are really great fliers, and Alissa [Johnson] and Abby [Hughes] have made some strong improvements this summer, so it will definitely be a fun competition.
