COPPER PEAK SKI FLYING: VIDEO AND PHOTOS
The only ski flying hill outside of Europe. Located near Ironwood in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Copper Peak was built in 1969 and held its first International Ski Flying Competition in 1970. From 1970 to 1994, seventeen countries competed at ten international ski competitions before Copper Peak closed in 1994. Today you can ride a chairlift to an 18 story elevator. Then climb several flights of stairs to get all the way to the top. It's definitely something you want to do.
