History:

Already in 1925 the two Norwegian immigrants Trigve Iversen and Emil Larsen constructed the first 23 meter jump at Trois-Rivières (also Three Rivers) together with the two local sportsmen Louis-Philippe Goulet and Roméo Landry. With this ski jump at “Cap aux Corneilles” on the banks of St. Maurice River Trois-Rivières became the ski jumping centre of Québec. For the championships in 1933 already 3,000 spectators came to the jump and one year later it was even double as much.
The ski jump was steadily enlarged and during the club championships in 1938 Lucien Laferté even jumped on 152 feet (46.3 m). Beside there were also some smaller jumps.
In 1950’s with Lucien Laferté and Jacques Charland two local ski jumpers even gained international merits and could participate in the Olympic Winter Games 1952 at Oslo.
