An unseasonably warm January has caused the 118th annual Norge Ski Jump to be postponed until February, organizers said on Tuesday.
The organizers for the annual Norge Ski Jump in Fox River Grove were never worried about having enough snow, but they do need it to be cold.Originally scheduled for Jan. 28 and 29, the event will now take place on Feb. 11 and 12, Norge Ski Club President Scott Smith said.
"Our plan was to make snow early this week, but temperatures changed on us," Smith said."We will make snow as soon as it gets cold. This is very unusual, for sure." Everything about the event, including concessions and competitions,"will still be the same, just two weeks later," Smith said, adding that they expected around 40 competitors for the big jump and 80 skiers in total, in addition to the spectators, for the event.
