Welcome to the McCall Ski Heritage Foundation®
We are a passionate group of McCall’s long-past ski racers, Olympians, ski industry folks, a ski history author, and lovers of the sport of skiing, that have banded together to preserve, protect and perpetuate local Alpine and Nordic Ski History and Culture of McCall, Idaho.
From Blackwell’s Ranch ski jump east of town in the 1920’s, to The Little Ski Hill founded in 1937, and Brundage Mountain which started in 1961, McCall’s ski heritage is worthy of public preservation and celebration.

The 10×12-foot mural will be installed on and enhance the privately owned building at 302 E. Lake Street in downtown McCall. The mural designs were created by the very talented Idaho artist Odessa Kaufman https://www.chalkandcloud.com/the-team.html
The artwork will celebrate McCall’s rich ski history and outdoor culture—with a vibrant, youthful twist designed to inspire the next generation to get outside and explore. We want to hear your voice—whether you’re a longtime local, visitor, business owner, or simply someone who loves McCall or skiing.
