Distance Points<\/strong>
\r\nPoints awarded for distance that are measured from the edge of the take-off to the athlete’s landing point on the slope. Distance points are measured in increments of 0.5 metres.<\/p>\r\n

In-run<\/strong>
\r\nThe name of the approach ramp the skier travels down to build speed heading into the jump.<\/p>\r\n

Judges Tower<\/strong>
\r\nThe building next to the jumps that houses the competition jury who manage the competition. It also houses the five style judges, and the video distance operators and scoring officials.<\/p>\r\n

K-Point<\/strong>
\r\nIt is the distance from the takeoff that is equal to the height of the hill. Judges reference this line to determine the amount of distance points awarded to a jump.<\/p>\r\n

Large Hill<\/strong>

Takeoff<\/strong>
\r\nThe point of the jump, at the end of the ramp, in which the athlete extends his\/her upper body forward over his skis with an explosive motion. The take-off is the most critical point of the jump involving technically refined movement with perfect timing.<\/p>\r\n
