History:

The Snowflake Ski Club was founded in 1922 and can look back on a long history of ski jumping and ski jumping hills. From 1923 to 1925, the ski jump at the Holte Farm was used. After that, the activities moved to the Anderson Farm in Timber Coulee near today's Snowflake ski jumps. Anderson Hill had a 22-meter high tower and allowed jumps over 50 meters. Alf Engen held the hill record with 187.5 and 193 feet. Around 1930, the ski jump was destroyed by a tornado and the jumping activities came to a standstill. Only later the ski club was re-established as a member of the Tri-State Ski Association. Before and after World War II, the jumping took place on the new hill in the Seas Branch.
In 1947/48 the new 60-meter hill at Anderson Farm was built and opened on February 8, 1948. In 1949, even Petter Hugsted, the Olympic champion of St. Moritz in 1948, jumped there, ringing in an era with regular international competition cups. In the 1950s, more than 10,000 spectators came to the major competitions on Anderson Hill. In 1952 and 1960, the US team also completed its Olympic preparation there.
As the previous hill was exhausted in terms of jumping distance and spectator capacity, in 1960 the Snowflake Ski Club bought the area of ​​the Volden Farm in Timber Coulee in order to build a 90-meter hill.
