Issues

The article Copper Peak has several issues:

• In the introduction you can find the following statement: It is expected to be reopened for competition in the next 2 or 3 years. The statement has to become removed because nobody still knows when it will be reopened. If you check history you will find out that this statement was inserted 2,5 years ago. So it must have been reopened now but it still has not happened and probably won't happen in near future. (By the way writing something like in the next 2 or 3 years without referring to a concrete date is always a problem because it won't be true anymore after some time if it won't get updated permanently. So a reader will have to check when this statement was inserted to find out at which date it is really going to happen.)
• The section 'Renovation' is completely unsourced. In addition it needs an update because it was inserted in June 2012 and has not become updated yet. The word 'they' is used several times but it is not mentioned who 'they' are. --217.227.118.205 (talk) 01:11, 16 February 2013 (UTC)

I agree completely that this article needs lots of work. I did some last summer, but am a loss for finding decent references for anything other than the competitions. I removed the dated reference in the lead. As the area it is located is very rural and economically challenged, the local papers have yet to move into the 21st century and have no online presence. The NRHP entry is not yet online. If someone can find the NRHP documents, they would go a long way to referencing the history section,however, that someone is not me. If the above writer wants to make improvements to the article, I encourage him to do so. Perhaps leaving a note at any of the interested projects might help. I belong to Project Michigan, so I will notify them. I also added the article to the NRHP project and marked it as needing immediate attention at all of the involved projects Gtwfan52 (talk) 02:09, 16 February 2013 (UTC)

Added a note at all the project pages too. I wish I could help, but there is little online about it and I am a loooooong way from Michigan at this time. If the above editor isn't, I might suggest contacting Lake Superior State University. Besides being the home of that list of most overused phrases, they also have one of only a few programs in ski resort management in the country. Gtwfan52 (talk) 02:25, 16 February 2013 (UTC)

Here are possible sources (most online) that I found by a Google Books search. I will be able to check the Michigan legislature source at the university library. I will ask at WP:RX if anyone has access to Report on study to determine the feasibility of establishing a ski jump in Gogebic County, Michigan. New York: Program Research. 1967. p. 60..
