The FIS Continental Cup, one of the most thrilling events in North American winter sports, returns February 20-22, 2026 to Iron Mountain, Michigan.

Set against the dramatic backdrop of Pine Mountain, the Continental Cup ski jump competition draws thousands of spectators annually to watch elite athletes from around the world as they soar off one of the largest artificial ski jumps in the United States. The event is part of the official International Ski and Snowboard Federation (FIS) circuit and offers spectators a rare opportunity to witness Olympic-caliber ski jumping up close – an unforgettable experience for both lifelong fans and first-time viewers.

Admission buttons for the event are still available at the presale price of $30 for adults; $20 for students age 11-17; and free for kids 10 and under. Presales stop a week before the event and 2026 gate prices are TBD. Tickets can be purchased at https://www.kiwanisskiclub.com/buttons.html. Visitors are encouraged to book lodging early, as hotels fill quickly for ski jump weekend.

Iron Mountain is a winter playground, offering something for every type of traveler. Snowmobilers can explore hundreds of miles of groomed trails that wind through forests and scenic overlooks. Downhill skiers and snowboarders enjoy challenging terrain and family-friendly runs at nearby ski areas, while cross-country skiers and snowshoers can take in the quiet beauty of the Northwoods on miles of maintained trails. Ice fishing, fat-tire biking, and winter hiking round out a long list of cold-weather adventures.
