Hello. Your information here is a little off. The photo you show is the Wrightwood jump, but you are combining information about this jump with information about the Big Pines jump. The Wrightwood jump was not a stronghold of ski jumping. A few club jumping meets were held there. The Big Pines jump was a stronghold. Only Big Pines was considered as a possibility for the 1932 Olympics, since the Summer Olympics were being hosted in Los Angeles. The Big Pines Ski Jump was located at Blue Ridge/Mountain High West. It was the big hill; the jump at Wrightwood was smaller. You should have two separate pages for these jumps: Wrightwood and Big Pines.
