COPPER PEAK SKI FLYING: VIDEO AND PHOTOS
From skipowd.tv :
Launching from the massive Copper Peak structure near Ironwood, Michigan, allows athletes to showcase the technical discipline of long-distance flight. This historic venue remains the only ski flying hill located outside of Europe, hosting international competitions between 1970 and 1994. To reach the summit today, visitors navigate an eighteen-story elevator followed by a steep climb up several flights of stairs. High speeds generated on the massive inrun once propelled jumpers across the Upper Peninsula landscape.
