Hey,
I am going to Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany in a week for a bit of skiing and I notice that they have a ski jump there. I would love to have a lesson / course on how to do it but I'm finding it hard finding any information on who does these courses.
I am interested in courses not only at this resort but potentially anywhere else around the alps, or from anyone who has any experience or recommendations of lessons.
Looking forward to a reply!
Cheers

Hi Amorgos, this could be interesting, especially if you promise to post some videos :twisted:
Best advice I can offer if there are no other replies, would be to contact the governing body for the sport.
They are part of the FIS who can be found here...

But they also have a dedicated website at...

having looked at the time of your post i cant help thinking you may have posted this after getting home from a few beers..thats the only way i would contemplate what your trying to do:-)
but good luck anyway and let us know how you get on.
maybe if eddie the eagle visits this site he could take you under his wing;-)

Ive often idly wondered how you train for ski jumping as, it seems to me, the only way to train for jumping off a geet big ramp is to jump off a geet big ramp!?
I think you're mad/brave in equal measures and wish you well! (and Ive jumped off the Stratosphere Tower in Vegas so I'm no wimp but really.........)
:shock:

Ski jumping courses are run in Courchevel. They were featured in one of the DM Ski and Snowboard magazine earlier this season.
Apparently, you start on the 10m jump (I've done this on conventional skis - scary enough) before graduating to bigger hills.
