Pennsylvania's only ski jump was here in the early seventies, when it was called Timber Hill Ski Area. See, for ex., the Pocono Record, March 2, 1971, at p. 15, https://www.newspapers.com/image/44297863/?terms=timber-hill%2Bcanadensis%2Bski%2Bjump. I remember seeing it and it was massive and awesome, but I never saw it being used. This was a ski jump like that in the intro to the old Wide World of Sports, not a terrain park type ski jump. The resort later became Alpine Mountain, and from what I see on the Web that has closed and the property may be repurposed.
