It’s important to remember what a big part skiing and other sports have played in this area’s history. After all, Ishpeming is the birthplace of skiing in North America and is home to the U.S. National Ski and Snowboard Hall of Fame.
So we hope the public steps up to support the Ishpeming Ski Club, which is working through problems caused by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
The club was forced to postpone the 134th Annual Ski Jumping Tournament, which had been scheduled Jan. 21, but now plans to hold the event, and is conducting a fundraising campaign to make up for financial losses.
