- In the year 1928,
Ingvar (Ole) and Ruth Arneson discovered Dyracuse Mound along with its
- possibilities
as a ski jump. Ole, along with two other men from Norway, Gunner Rebne
- and Ingmar
Ingmarson, had a dream to build a jump, form a club to promote, create,
develop
- and sustain
interest in the sport of ski jumping.
-
- The first tournament
was held in 1932 after which the club became affiliated with the
Central
- US Ski Association.
-
- Over the years,
jumps of 5, 10, and 22 meters have been built to the West of the 55 meter
slide
- and are used in
developing ski jumpers as they work their way to the bigger slide.
-
- After 67 years,
thanks to hard work and financial support from many people, we are still
able to
- promote and develop
interest in Nordic skiing. Even though these three young men from Norway
- are no longer
with us, it appears reasonable to conclude that their dream has come true.
