Wolverine Hill was a ski jumping hill located at Ironwood, Michigan, USA.
History
It was owned by the Gogebic Range Ski Club, it had a K-point at 66 meters. Three world records in ski jumping were set at Wolverine Hill.
The ski club had a vision of building the largest ski jumping hill in the world in the 1930s. The hill remained in use until 1969 when they built Copper Peak ski flying hill. Six years later they modernized the hill for young jumpers, but it has since been demolished.
