TAKEOFF

Ski jump platforms are engineered as steep, reinforced structures designed to support both the inrun ramp and the takeoff table, ensuring stability, precision, and safety at high speeds.

The inrun is often built on concrete or steel trusses, with modern designs incorporating cooling systems or synthetic tracks for year-round training.

The takeoff section is meticulously aligned to launch athletes at precise angles, while the entire structure is designed to minimize vibration and flex under load.

Wind screens, aerodynamics, and snow retention systems are also factored into construction, especially for large hill or Olympic-caliber jumps.
