Not to be confused with the game jumping jacks, this unique sport is taking Vermont by storm. In this season 5 segment of Weekends with Yankee (episode 503), Richard is at Mt. Snow in Vermont to witness the sport of Jack Jumping. While no one can agree on who invented it, everyone who tries it can agree that it’s a wildly fun ride. Jack Jumping involves riding a seat saddled to a ski down the mountain. It’s a speedy, adrenaline-inducing ride that’s accessible to all ages. In this segment, Richard learns how to jack jump from two world champions and spends the afternoon carving down the mountainside.
