History:

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 hills 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.
In December 1910 carpenters started building the ski jump east of Iola, opposite the slaughterhouse. The first competitions on Slaughter House Hill took place on January 1st and February 22nd, 1911. The wooden structure, which was impressive by the standards of the time, was used for competitions until 1913. It still served as a training ski jump until 1938, but then the wooden scaffolding was dismantled. In the 1950s, the slope was used as a natural ski jump by young people for a few more years. Today, the site, which is commemorated by a plaque since 2019, sits on the edge of Glacier Wood Golf Course.
