IRON MOUNTAIN -- With the warm weather, you might think the Pine Mountain ski jump won't be ready for this weekend. But officials say the conditions have made the hill close to perfect. It is warm during the day, but the low sun angle means there's still plenty of snow on the jump.
The cold nights have also made up for the warm days.
“We covered the hill with blankets, and on Monday we took the blankets all off, cut the track on Tuesday,” said Nick Blagec, “finished up the landing hill yesterday and put all the colors on it, so it's just rearing and ready to go.”
With temperatures in the teens tomorrow, officials say there will be great conditions for this weekend's Continental Cup.
