IRONWOOD – Copper Peak completed the blasting phase at the Copper Peak ski jump and have spent the last few weeks clearing and processing the rock spoils from the hill. This marks a significant step forward in the transformation of the iconic facility.  The cleared rock is being carefully screened to remove dirt, and miscellaneous debris before being strategically placed back on the hill for drainage below the new concrete slab. This drainage system is critical for managing the substantial water volume during summer jumping competitions and spring runoff from Upper Peninsula winters.  The Next phase includes drilling operations that will support the blast rock layer and future concrete slab installation. The project is to create the only ski-flying facility in the Western Hemisphere capable of hosting international competitions that meet International Ski Federation standards while serving as a global destination.
