The Kiwanis Ski Club was formed on January 5, 1934.
In 1933 local jumpers, with funds contributed by local merchants and manufacturers, constructed the Devils Hill Slide, the first all metal slide in the Upper Peninsula. Shortly after the new slide had been put in use, jumpers, with the support of the Kiwanis Club, formed the Kiwanis Ski Club on January 5, 1934. The Devil's Hill Slide was dedicated January 21 of that same year before a crowd of 5000 people. Tournaments were held on Devil's Hill annually for the next four years.
