Ski Jumping

Going The Distance

The Olympic Jumping Complex is dedicated to showcasing jumping competitions and providing athletes with training facilities that develop our next generation of elite athletes. At the Lake Placid Jumps, you can witness ski jumpers at every stage of their journey, from taking their first leap to soaring the distance of a football field. Our complex features HS10, 20, 48, 100, and 128 meter ski jumps, where you can observe the athletes’ training as they practice their jumping take-off, and forms descending further down the hill with each flight.

Freestyle

It’s Flipping Awesome

In addition to ski jumping, the Olympic Jumping Complex is also a premier venue for aerials. Aerial skiing, a discipline of freestyle skiing, features skiers launching off ramps to perform acrobatic flips and twists high above the snow before landing with precision. It’s a sport that demands incredible skill, courage, and dedication, and it’s just as thrilling to watch as it is to perform. While the complex no longer hosts summer freestyle training, it remains a vital winter training ground and continues to welcome top-tier freestyle events.
