On Saturday September 7th there will be SKI JUMPING and a Picnic.

​

THIS IS NOT AN OFFICIAL PINE POINT SKI and SNOWBOARD CLUB EVENT.
It is being put on by the Chicago Metropolitan Ski Council CMSC of which Pine Point Ski and Snowboard Club is a member club. So it's open to all Pine Point members.
 

CMSC is putting on the event and it sounds like something any skier/boarder would enjoy seeing.
Don't ask me how they are going to ski jump in September with temps well above snow melting. That alone would be worth seeing how they do that. My guess? Wet grass? Wet artificial turf?
