SSWSC hosted the Winter Start ski jumping and nordic combined competition on December 9-10, 2023, at Howelsen Hill. The competition was a huge success, and SSWSC athletes had multiple podium finishes. Jason Cobly tied the HS100 hill record with a jump of 105.5 meters (tied with Casey Larson), and Estella Hassrick beat her own HS100 record with a jump of 98.5 meters.
