Watch this groomer as it climbs the landing for Pine Mountain Ski Jump as they prepare for ski jumping action. Construction of the jump began in 1937 and was completed in 1938. At the  time it was 156 ft high. It hosted its first competition in 1939. In  1948, the outrun was dug out, and in 1977 the in run tower was made  larger (to the current 176 ft) after a fire. There have been numerous  other renovations over the years. In 1996 and 2000 the hill hosted the  World Cup, bringing in 20,000 spectators. However, it has not hosted one  since, and now hosts annual COC competitions.
