Variously translated as "high ground" and "heaven," Ishpeming is a center of the Upper Peninsula skiing industry. The sport here dates back to 1887 when a group of local Norwegians started a ski club. The group's heritage has become the U.S. National Ski Hall of Fame and Museum where American greats of the sport are honored. Exhibits also trace the development of skiing through historic artifacts.
Ski jumpers gather in January or February for the annual Super Tour Ski Jump Tournament at Suicide Bowl on the east side of town. The basic facility offers five hills for jumping. Nearby are cross-country ski trails at Al Quaal Recreational Area.
