In 1932, the legendary cross-country skier, Herman “Jackrabbit” Smith-Johannsen was helping to prepare Canada’s Olympic team to compete in the 1932 Olympics at Lake Placid. He laid out a 50 km cross-country ski course for the Seigniory Club on property now known as Kenauk Nature. He also designed and built a ski jump on the 250-foot Seigniory Club Hill that was just a bit higher than the one at Lake Placid.
