Ski buttons are now on sale, announced Kiwanis Ski Club officials.
The pre-tournament cost is $18 for adults and $15 for students. Prices at the gate will be $25 for adults and $20 for students. Children under 10 are free.
For those who have never seen a ski jumping tournament, you should really check this out. Ski jumping had to be the original "extreme sport", considering this is the 70th anniversary of this event. Olympic quality athletes from around the world 'fly' into Iron Mountain to compete in this Continental Cup tournament. Plus, one of the largest February tailgate parties in the Midwest completes the event. With warm food on the grills and friendly folks, this weekend is one of the best times of the year.
