CLICK TO HEAR JACK HALL’S INTERVIEW WITH PETER COPENHAVER, ISC
On January 21st, 2021, the Ishpeming Ski Club (ISC) postponed the 134th Annual Ski Jumping Tournament and the event was rescheduled for March 6-7, 2021. Since that original announcement, the club has developed a comprehensive plan to host the tournament, making the safety of athletes, their families, club staff and the community it’s top priority.
In keeping with Michigan COVID-19 protocol, the ISC has decided to forego public spectators at the Annual Tournament. In addition, the K90 ski jumping hill (Suicide Hill) will not be prepared for the competition, due to the limited availability of athletes.
The ISC, a non-profit organization (501(c)(3), relies primarily on funds generated from the Annual Tournament. The lost revenue from this year’s competition will place a serious financial
hardship on the organization. In addition, the club had been in the process of performing major, mandated updates to ISC facilities and operational programming, prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. This has only increased the financial strain placed upon the club.
The ISC has organized a comprehensive fundraising effort to help offset the financial burden during this exceptional time of need. The ISC is asking the community to help support its youth ski programs, trails and facility updates.
