EVENT HOST
Ishpeming Ski Club was founded in January of 1887 and was originally named the Norden Ski Club before being changed to Ishpeming Ski Club in 1901. Due to the long history and ongoing spirit of the skiing community in the area, Ishpeming was made the host city for the U.S. National Ski and Snowboard Hall of Fame. The Ski Clubs mission is to put on quality competitions while also directing efforts towards youth in the surrounding area, including all youth and junior ski programs provided free of charge. The Ishpeming Ski Club is known to have some of the best ski hills in the country!
