Already in winter 1901-02 the British brothers Edward and William Richardson introduced skiing to Davos and fascinated especially the younger people. One year later, the "Davos English Ski Club" was already founded.
On February 28, 1909, 1200 spectators attended the official inaugural competition of the first ski jumping hill of Ski Club Davos. Winners were the guest jumpers from Norway, with Harald Smith, who set up a new world record of 45 m, ahead of his brother Trygve Smith, who fell at 48 m, and followed by Trygve Myklegaard. In the afternoon the distances were shorter due to a weather change. Individual ski jumps then were shorter than 40 meters and double jumps came up to 36 meters.
