A 50-meter ski jump was built in Aspen in 1938 by the city government and the "Works Progress Administration" (WPA), a work creation agency. The Willoughby Jump was located on the same hill as famous alpine skiing trails which hosted many World Championships events. However, ski jumping never got such great reputation in Aspen. In 1962, the 50-meter ski jumping hill was replaced by a complex of 4 smaller ski jumps: K40, K25, K12 and K7, sponsored by Aspen Lions Club. However, later ski jumping completely disappeared from Aspen.
