A steel and wood ski jump with adjustable height and length was built here for the Ogden Dunes Ski Club, which was incorporated in 1927 to promote winter sports. Five annual events with international competitors were held from 1928 to 1932, drawing 7,000 to 20,000 spectators. It was reputed to be the largest artificial ski jump at the time and was dismantled after the 1932 event.
