History:
The first event was originally scheduled for August 2005, but it was delayed due to opposition from local residents. After the city issued the necessary permit, on September 29, 2005, one of the steepest streets in San Francisco, Fillmore Street, was transformed into a temporary ski jump as part of the ICER AIR event. The organizers were Glen Griffin from ICER (a ski wax spray manufacturer) and Olympic gold medalist in mogul skiing, Jonny Moseley, with support from the Norwegian Consulate. The street was covered with 12,000 cubic feet of artificial snow, created by shredding blocks of ice. The jump was built on the section between Broadway and Vallejo Streets in the Pacific Heights neighborhood.
The event received mixed reactions from Pacific Heights residents. Concerns were raised about noise, safety, and disruptions to daily life. Despite this, the event attracted around 15,000 spectators, and police had to close four additional blocks to accommodate the crowd. On the day of the competition, the temperature reached 80°F (about 27°C), which caused rapid snowmelt and led to several incidents, including a collision between a snowboarder and spectators, resulting in minor injuries.
After the controversy surrounding the Fillmore Street event, the organizers moved ICER AIR to AT&T Park (now Oracle Park, home of the San Francisco Giants).
