The Snowflake Ski Club was founded in 1922. It has its roots deep in volunteerism, community spirit and good will, boasting over 500 members. That’s in a town of 2000 people. We are one of the two remaining “all volunteer” large hill ski jumping clubs in the Western hemisphere.

Located in the City of Westby, a peaceful community with Norwegian roots, the Snowflake Ski Club is proud to provide a place of entertainment and recreation, year around.

Annually, the Ski Tournament is an event the entire community gets excited about and the event attracts thousands of spectators. International and US jumpers compete on the large hill, often traveling down the jump with speeds in excess of 50 miles per hour flying for hundreds of feet. Ski jumping truly is the original extreme sport.

Our Club is very active during the summer season as well. The Snowflake Golf Course is used by hundreds of people who want to enjoy the natural beauty and tranquility of Timber Coulee. And the Club House is open year round, offering great food and drink, as well as memorabilia showing Snowflake Ski Club’s rich ski jumping history.

Many Olympic and world-class ski jumpers have competed at the Snowflake Ski Jumping Complex.

The ski jump complex at Snowflake consists of six jumps all located in the same area of beautiful Timber Coulee. The largest is a 118 meter Olympic-sized hill used for national and international competitions. The Large Hill Meet is held early each winter and attracts not only U.S. ski jumpers but competitors from around the world. The five smaller hills at the site include a 65 meter hill, as well as smaller 40, 20, 10, and 5 meter hills for training junior jumpers. The junior competition is now held the same weekend as the Big Hill Tournament, so that we can get our fill of ski jumping fun in one big weekend, as well as see the Olympic ski jumpers of the future!

Snowflake has hosted numerous FIS Continental Cup and United States Ski and Snowboard Association ski jumping tournaments. Since 2011, Snowflake has hosted one of the legs of the five-hill U.S. Cup tournament.

Kids get to try ski jumping fully before making any commitment to the team or paying any fees. Equipment is provided. See the Youth Ski Jumping Page of this website for more information.
