Past the landing slope is the outrun, which is either flat or even uphill, where the skier can slow down. [1] The speed of the skier is normally measured about 10 meters (33 ft) before the end of the takeoff; jumpers can reach speeds of 95 kilometers per hour (59 mph) on large hills and 105 kilometers per hour (65 mph) on ski flying hills.

With a structural height of 100 meters (translating to a skiable vertical drop of 80 m), a width of 100 m and a length of 500 m, it was the largest indoor ski slope in the world [2] at the time. The complex had three ski courses [ 3 ] —20.1° for skilled skiers, 15° for intermediate, and 10° for beginners — and two ski lifts.

Overview of a ski jumping hill Letalnica Bratov Gorišek in Planica, Slovenia.

The hill size (HS) is the most important measurement for the size of a ski jumping hill.
The length and natural grade of its 600 m (2,000 ft) hill made possible jumps of over 60 m (200 ft)—the longest in Canada. It was also the only hill in Canada where world ski jumping records were set, in 1916, 1921, 1925, 1932, and 1933.
Tim Ashburn says in his book The History of Ski Jumping that Norheim's longest jump on the circular track in Haugli ground in 1868 should have been measured at 9.4 metres alen [8] but that newspapers in Christiania reported that the length "was a little exaggerated", so the official record is everywhere written as 19.5 m.
Kickers range from 8 to 20 feet (2.4 to 6.1 m) tall, with the tallest kickers launching skiers 45 to 50 feet (14 to 15 m) above the landing hill. [ 4 ] The skis used in aerials are generally lighter and shorter than other skis which makes them easier to control during the jumps; the tails and tips are also more flexible than regular skis.
