Suicide Hill Ski Jump

It is one of three major ski jumps located in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan (the others being Copper Peak (a larger ski flying hill) and Pine Mountain Ski Jump).

The first competition that took place in Ishpeming, Michigan was on February 25, 1882.

On February 26, 1926, Suicide Hill was opened for its first competition.

The name "Suicide Hill" was given by a local newspaper reporter named Ted Butler after jumper Walter "Huns" Anderson was injured in 1926.

[3] Due to this long history of ski jumping in the area, the National Ski Hall of Fame is located in Ishpeming.
