I know there was a ski jump in the Fond du Lac neighborhood, close to Mission Creek. I’ve been on the trails on that steep hillside and have found a small concrete pad in the woods, pretty close to Mission Creek. Would the ski jump have been near this small pad? Also, on top of the big hill I have found some overgrown, wide trails that almost look like they could’ve been some type of maintenance/service trails for the ski jump. Is this related to the old ski jump?

Here’s a sampling of what you have to look forward to this week on the PDD Calendar.
Lonnie Dupree is set to attempt to summit Mt. McKinley in January, which has never been done before. You can meet this hero slash mad man at the UMD Planetarium on Tuesday.
It’s been said that “talking about art is like dancing about architecture.” Well you can see UMD folk dancing about art in the Tweed Museum on Wednesday and Thursday and then… you can talk about it. Perfecto.
Well, it’s snowing out and we haven’t even finished our Halloween candy so, of course, Christmas events must begin. (Insert curmudgeonly grumble here.)
- A Christmas by the Lake, a holiday CD featuring various local artists, gets its release party on Thursday at the Greysolon Plaza Ballroom.
- The Christmas City of the North Parade hits the streets on Friday.
- And on Saturday you can head down to Bayfront for the grand opening of Bentleyville.
Fa la flipping la.
By the way, revisit our new Christmas tag to see a list of all similarly festive happenings in the area.
So what are you doing this week? Can we tag along? Any upcoming events that you want to promote? Let us know!
