History

Owned by the Gogebic Range Ski Club, it had a K-point at 60 meters. Torger Tokle, the Norwegian immigrant to the US in 1939, set the hill record of 66 m (216 ft.) in 1942. The record would last through the life of the original hill.

First built in 1935 and hosted competitions every winter---except for the World War II years---and remained in use until 1963, when it was demolished in a storm. The facilities were rebuilt in 1975 and hosted the USA Ski team for practice in November 1975. Steve Sydow of Duluth set a new hill record of 68 m (223 ft.) in 1983. The Wolverine Hill was in operation until 1995 when declining numbers of competitors forced its closing.
