From 1970 to 1994, Copper Peak hosted 10 competitions during which ski jumpers tested their skills on the only ski flying facility in the western hemisphere. The hill hasn't hosted a jump for more than two decades, but plans are underway to restore Copper Peak so that it can once again be used in ski jumping. In the meantime, the Peak offers Adventure Rides during which visitors take an 810-foot chair lift ride to an elevator that lifts them an additional 18 stories. From there, they can enjoy 360-degree views of western Lake Superior and the surrounding area from an observation deck at the Peak's top.
