There’s only one way from here and that’s down. A brave soul going down the slope at the year-round ski jump facility of the Norge Ski Club in Fox River Grove, Illinois. For more on Cee’s Which Way Photo Challenge go to Cee’s Which Way Photo Challenge – June 23, 2017

Woow one helluva ride 😀
I can’t even begin to imagine how thrilling that must be.
So where is the snow? Awesome photo of this week 😀
Thanks, Cee! Apparently they don’t need snow with this kind of surface. They just water it down every once in a while.
Terrifying.
Just looking out from where I was standing at the end of the jump made me weak at the knees.
First you have to get up there! I wouldn’t attempt this even if there was snow!
We took the easy way up, driving on the road uphill to the back of the jump. I imagine it makes for a painful fall without the snow to cushion things, but these kids just got back up and carried on. What it is to be young!
I see what you mean about climbing the steps the rest of the way to the top. There’s no easy way of doing that.
Just looking at that slope makes me gasp!!
It was as much as I could do to watch them flying down.
