History:
Snowsports activities began in McCall in the Payette Lakes National Forest as early as the 1920s. The first winter sports festival took place at Blackwell's Ranch in 1924, with ski jumps of over 20 meters being achieved.
The Payette Lakes Ski Club was then founded in 1937 and the "Little Ski Hill" ski area opened in the same year. It included two ski jumping hills suitable for competitions. In 1946, the ski jump was upgraded to a 60-meter hill. Alf Engen jumped the hill record of 211 feet. The ski jumps were heavily used until the 1970s, but after that ski jumping activities died down. In 1991, the wooden inrun tower of the large hill was finally destroyed by a storm.
All of the ski jumps in McCall have vanished, but the alpine ski area and the "Bear Basin Nordic Center" for cross-country skiing and biathlon are still in operation.
