In 1930's Wrightwood / Big Pines was a stronghold of ski jumping in the north of Los Angeles. Both towns commonly applied for the Olympic Winter Games 1932, which were finally hosted at Lake Placid. While even world class jumpers participated in competitions at Big Pines, the ski jump at Blue Ridge / Mountain High ski area was a bit smaller.

Hello. Your information here is a little off. The photo you show is the Wrightwood jump, but you are combining information about this jump with information about the Big Pines jump. The Wrightwood jump was not a stronghold of ski jumping. A few club jumping meets were held there. The Big Pines jump was a stronghold. Only Big Pines was considered as a possibility for the 1932 Olympics, since the Summer Olympics were being hosted in Los Angeles. The Big Pines Ski Jump was located at Blue Ridge/Mountain High West. It was the big hill; the jump at Wrightwood was smaller. You should have two separate pages for these jumps: Wrightwood and Big Pines.
