(15)

Our club has been presenting world-class ski jumping tournaments at Pine Mountain since the first one in 1939. Many North American distance records have been set here,by some of the best ski jumpers from the USA and many other countries. The Kiwanis Ski Club has proudly sent local jumpers to represent the USA in the Olympics and in the FIS World Championships, and many of them have been US Nationa

l Champions in various classes, too. Our club has been the host for Continental Cup tournaments since 1990, and we’ve been honored to hold World Cup competitions in 1996 and 2000. It’s long been the only ski jumping venue in the United States which is awarded a competition date by FIS each year. It’s a huge commitment of manpower and finances ... all of which have to be expended prior to the first jumper coming down the slide. FIS has many requirements which must be met by the host club of a tournament in this upper-echelon series. We do what’s necessary to meet their requirements every season. Mother Nature’s cooperation is needed to successfully hold an event, but a few times she hasn’t been very helpful. The club sells entry buttons in advance at a discount, and the proceeds from those early sales, along with sponsor investments, helps set the stage for the arrival of outstanding ski jumpers from around the world. Occasionally, weather has forced postponement or cancellation of our tournaments, and as disappointed as our guests may be, we must ensure that the regulations of the sport’s governing body, FIS, are scrupulously followed to ensure the safety of the athletes. FIS officials are on site for every event, and they’ve always been complimentary regarding our club, our meticulous hill preparation and our guests. We’re pleased to provide “major league” ski jumping for our fans!

There is a really good chance of seeing the NORTHERN LIGHTS tonight and Pine Mountain seems to be a great place to see them, but please stay off the ski jump..
If you walk out onto the platform below the Springer House it is dark enough to capture pictures and see them too. Stay warm, have fun and be safe..

Pano Tour - Pine Mountain Ski Jump | Iron Mountain, MI, USA

The Pine Mountain Ski Jump, originally built in 1937, is one of the highest artificially created ski jumps in the world.

The original wooden structure has been recently replaced by a hot-dip galvanized steel structure.

Did you know Pine Mountain holds the U.S. records for the longest jump in World Cup competition at 459 feet, as well as the overall distance record at 472.44 feet?

Look all around and take in the breathtaking colors!

The Kiwanis Ski Club was sad to learn that Dr. Paul A. Jacobs, 90, of Iron Mountain, passed away Sunday, Oct. 1, 2023, surrounded by his family.

He had a lifelong love for ski jumping. He ski jumped at Pine Mountain from 1949 to 1965. In 1952, he received a gold medal in Class B at the North American Ski Jumping Championship in Ironwood, elevating him to Class A. Paul was a past Federated International Ski Jumping judge (FIS) and was both past president and past director of the Central Ski Jumping Judges Association.

He was a Distance Jumping Judge at the 1980 Olympics in Lake Placid, New York. Paul judged the World Ski Flying Championship in Oberstdorf, Germany, the World Junior Ski Jumping Championship in Mauria, Austria, and judged the First World Cup ever held in North America in Thunder Bay, Canada.

He, along with his friends, traveled to Lahti, Finland, for over 30 years as a spectator and judge and was honored with an honorary life membership to the Lahti Ski Club. Paul was a past director of the Central Ski Jumping Association. He was inducted into the U.S. Ski Jumping Hall of Fame in 2014 in Redwing, Minn.

We've been getting hit hard with messages asking about the 2024 Ski Jumping dates.. All I can say is to watch this page for updates. We'll create an event here when the dates are known, and after we've secured rooms from area hotels first.

We have a meeting next month, I'm sure this will come up in discussion.

Members: Tuesday, September 5th is the next Kiwanis Ski Club meeting..
