1910 was the year of the founding of the Iola Winter Sports Club and since this club has been belong to the ones in Wisconsin fancying ski jumping. In the history of the ski club, there were many ski jumps that were built over different periods of time. In 1910, the first ski jumping hill was set up with School House Ski Hill. Then, in 1911 the new jumping Slaughterhouse Hill and Fleck’s Hill in Scandinavia were constructed. In 1914 Knutson Hill, which allowed jumps of more than 20 m, was built. In 1942 a storm destroyed the inrun tower of the Gale Wreck New Hope Slide, which had only been built in the same year. Since 1949/50 Hogback Hill had been jumped on for a long time, until the K45 and K25 ski jumps at Norseman Hill were set up in 1983/84.
The first competition on School House Ski Hill took place on January 30, 1910. More than 1000 spectators saw the winner of the day, M. Grenli, with a jump of 40.5 feet. On February 27th, 1910 another competition took place on the ski jump near the former high school, but from the following winter onwards, the competitions were moved to the newly built ski jump at the slaughterhouse (Slaughterhouse Hill). School House Ski Hill continued to be used for training for a few of years.
