Geocache Description:

A geocache at the Nels Nelson historic ski jump.

Nels Nelson won the first ski jump competition on Mount Revelstoke in 1915.   The next year he broke the world record.   He was first among Canadian amateurs many times and in 1925 captured the world title.   Jumping stopped during WWII, but the site was built to Olympic standards and a tournament of champions was held annually from 1950 until 1974.   The jump slope and judges' tower can still be seen at the Nels Nelson Historic area today.
