History:

Already since 1920's there have been ski jumping activities in Madison, Wisconsin, for example on Muir Knoll and in Bradley Park in Shorewood Hills.
Blackhawk ski club was founded after World War II in 1947 and very quickly started with the construction of a 60 meter ski jumping hill at Middleton. The K25 jump at Blackhawk Ski Area was the first jump with plastic covering in the whole U.S. in 1964. Also the K59 hill was covered with new plastic mattings in 2004 and equipped with a new inrun trail. If the necessary financial means can be afforded, the K69 will shall be converted into an 80 meter jump, too.
Both large ski jumping hills (K69 & K59) are about 200 m apart of the three smaller ones.
