Snow will come to Norge Ski Jump in Fox River Grove in time for its annual Winter Ski Jump Tournament, even if it has to be hauled in from out of state, organizers say.
Suburban winter sports fans can get a head start on the Olympics this weekend as the Norge Ski Club holds its 117th annual Winter Ski Jump Tournament in Fox River Grove. After being limited to 1,000 people last year, organizers expect 6,000 to 8,000 visitors to descend on the village this weekend to watch the jumpers.
There are only four members of the 2022 U.S. Olympic men’s ski-jumping team. And three of the Olympians on their way to Beijing trained at a historic club 40 miles northwest of Chicago.
