Winter Fun Photographs






Just a little break from business....

Last weekend up to I drove up to Iron Mountain, Michigan, home of the Pine Mountain Ski Jumping Tournament . This is highest artificial is ski jump is the world. The tournament runs for two days and is something to see if you have never witnessed anything like this. There are ski jumpers from all over the world competing, some of whom will be in the Winter Olympics next week. This particular tournament has been going on for 71 years.

As if skiers jump over 460 feet wasn't exciting enough, the parking lot was a large tailgate party, complete with little camps containing cook outs , wood stoves, and make shift cocktail lounges. Tickets cost $18.00 for the entire weekend event.
