Copper Peak was built in 1970 along the shores of Lake Superior. It’s a 300-ton steel structure, and is named after the mineral deposits found during its construction (a 140-pound copper nugget was supposedly unearthed near the present day judge’s stand).

By doing tricks off this absolute monster, Sammy Carlson has placed himself in the record books as the first skier to a hit a “ski-flying” long jump with freestyle intent. It would have been impressive enough if he’d just done a few tricks off it, but by throwing some switches into the reckoning the whole thing just goes up a notch on the epic-o-metre.

This was shot as part of The Sammy C Project.
