hii eve this feels weird

ok so this might be controversial (i'm saying might because i honestly don't know how u guys felt about the comeptition because the tag is still acting up) but i think the competition was pretty okay?? the weather was nice and even tho the wind was a bit shitty from time to time, the jury did a good job?

i was about to say something about eisei's style marks but quite honestly we have talked so much about it in season 2019 i think?? that i don't know what else to say besides FIS FIX THE SYSTEM!!!

now to karle, it was startling to see him so upset and i am not used to it at all?? i watched an interview and he was obviously so lost in his thoughts and he even interrupted the interviewer because she started talking about innsbruck - the poor guy had so much pressure form the media and i HATE THEM FOR ALWAYS EXPECTING SO MUCH FROM ATHLETES (if i am not mistaken there is a number of rants about this on my blog already i am not starying again)

BUT i do have to say that i respect him so much because another interviewer tried to push the idea of the jury being guilty and he imediatelly said that he was absolutely not implying that (another reason why i fucking hate some journalists i'm so sorry for the outburst)

ALSO LOVRO KOS MY BELOVED finally got his first podium and i can only hope that he will stay calm and collected for the whole season

honorable mention stephan with amazzing second jump and 10 place

excited for bergisel!!!! (my fave hill pls don't dissapoint)

i feel so powerful!!! how the tables have turned!!!

honestly, looking back i think the competition was fine - i'm a bit salty about karl losing the yellow bib, but frankly after today it might do him so good to have a break from the pressure of leading, and as @bronzebluemind has mentioned recently, he seems to do better attacking than defending sometimes. and oh man i am cut up reading that about his interviews - i don't really get interviews because the english broadcasting team is composed of david goldstrom and no one else, so the last i saw of him was him being very grumpy after his jump and then celebrating with markus (i have a gifset of it somewhere on my blog but presumably not in the tag lmao). i'm glad he's not blaming the jury for anything, it would not be a good look, and as you said i think the jury did fine today.

now that you mention it, the style marks controversy is pretty much the same as in 2019 lol. i think markus was definitely marked unfairly high for his first jump when compared to ryoyu, but also i don't think the overall impact was too severe; the stupid 18.5 from the german judge was eliminated, at least. i'm kind of glad he didn't win the competition frankly, just because there would have been a lot of people (on here, reddit, etc) who were very angry about it.

poor lovro kind of got lost amidst the drama of markus and ryoyu's battle! they never even showed his reaction to knowing he had a podium secured (after marius was 2nd after his jump). but this was awesome for him, and like you i hope that he'll keep it together and produce some more good results.

i can only say that i am terrified about what bergisel might do to karl (if he or anyone else gets hurt before the olympics......)

#also this is a tangent but #despite this messy fht so far #i think karl still has a good shot at the olympics #bc he's always struggled with the four hills and i think maybe just #the pressure of sustained performance #(and maybe even the world cup itself)#whereas he's been great at single-competition things #like the nordic ski championships or ski flying championships

Hopes & bets - SKI JUMPING 2018/19

Snagged from @landofeternalwinter.

Rules: Answer each question with your picks for the upcoming season and tag others to do the same!

I totally used this as an excuse to search for gifs. Shhhh.

10. What I wait for the most: Right now, showing serious symptoms of ski jumping withdrawal, I just want the season to start. But seriously though, I can’t wait for the competitions I’ll go to: First, my 4HT adventure--10 DAYS, 4 HILLS, 2 COUNTRIES, 1 ROADTRIP AND LOTS OF KILOMETERS. It just has to be good. Then ski flying in Oberstdorf and last but not least the Nordic World Ski Championships. 😌

9. What I wait for the least: Competitions getting cancelled, wind problems and hence time being an issue because there’s no flood-lighting (Innsbruck, I’m looking at you), gate poker paired with unfortunate decisions and changing wind conditions which takes away a victory at the last minute--and of course I hope nobody gets injured! And then I’m already afraid the season is going to be over just as fast as the last one ...

8. My bet for the 4HT: If Kamil has another season like last season, I wouldn’t put it past him to do a hat trick. He is just that good, focussed and ambitious to pull it off. But after all the drama related to 4HT, I hope for Daniel to win. ❤️

7. My bet for Raw Air: Robert because I really hope this past season, his three Olympic medals (!) and his win in Vikersund were just the start for him and we’ll see him on top more often.

6. The comeback: When it comes to athletes not competing last season, I’m looking forward to seeing Kenneth and Severin again, of course! I can’t decide who I’m more excited about. As for comebacks of athletes who just didn’t get it completely right last season, I so hope for Peter and Gregor to be able to show us again what they are capable of.

5. The glow-up: Markus, please?

4. The surprise: Team Austria and Team Slovenia making Team Norway, Team Poland and Team Germany fight for the podium again now that they’ve got new coaches. That’s not a surprise, is it?

3. The king of ski flying: Still Daniel, obviously. 😏

2. The top team: Team Norway. 🇳🇴

1. The king of the season: There are quite a few who could totally pull it off if only their results were more constant and some whose performance I can’t really estimate. Among all those, I hope for Daniel to make it.

15 Gorgeous Small Towns In America’s Mountain Regions

From the Adirondacks to the Rockies, these charming mountain towns deserve a moment in the sun. If you’re planning a visit, consider a vacation rental from FlipKey—like a cozy cabin right on the hiking trails or a modern ski condo.

In a land with hundreds of individual mountain ranges and endless acres of national forests, some of the most exciting vacation destinations in the US boast skylines that haven’t changed in centuries. Home to craggy peaks with steep trails, twisting singletracks and swirling whitewater, this country’s beautiful little mountain towns deserve their own moment in the sun. That’s why we’re featuring 24 scenic communities—each home to less than 10,000 residents—with serious four-season appeal and tons of small-town charm.

Whether you’re planning an adventure vacation or a relaxing mountain getaway, these coast-to-coast destinations show off the most breathtaking vistas America has to offer (not to mention some of the coolest backcountry cabins and rustic ski lodges available for rent on FlipKey).

Bryson City, North Carolina

What Bryson City lacks in size, it makes up for in towering peaks, panoramic views and big natural attractions (namely, the Great Smoky Mountains). For hiking and biking enthusiasts, the Appalachian Trail and Tsali Mountain Biking Recreation Area are both nearby, but the city itself is better known for another outdoor activity: epic whitewater rafting. Don’t miss the opportunity to face some huge drops and rapids on the Nantahala River. Of course, if you prefer to stay on dry land, you can always browse the handcrafted items on display in the area’s artisan-run shops.

Find a great place to stay in Bryson City!

Ely, Minnesota

Ely is a small town that’s easy to overlook: northern Minnesota, population 3,460, set against the stunning backdrop of the Shagawa Lake. So how did it end up on this list of stunning mountain vacations? We’ve got a few good reasons, starting with the town’s recent renaissance and an upswing in tourism. From ice fishing and dogsledding in the winter to late summer canoeing and early autumn hiking, this hidden-gem outdoors hub has a lot to offer, and travelers are taking note.

Find a great place to stay in Ely!

Eureka Springs, Arkansas

For cliffside Victorian homes, quaint galleries and boutiques, meandering mountain roads and 25 miles of backwoods trails, rent a historic home in Eureka Springs and start exploring the Ozarks. This popular mountain vacation destination is surrounded by natural attractions including three lakes, two rivers and a number of public caves, so canoeing, kayaking, fishing and hiking abound. But the fun doesn’t stop after summer ends; nearby spas and outstanding exhibits at the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art make Eureka Springs an enchanting winter escape.

Find a great place to stay in Eureka Springs!

Park City, Utah

In 2015, two local spots merged to create Park City Mountain Resort, now the largest ski resort in the country. Add 7,300 skiable acres to the 400+ miles of trails accessible to hikers and bikers during the summer, and you’ll understand why this city is a buzzworthy destination year-round. (Of course, if you’re looking to save a little money, steer clear mid-winter when the Sundance Film Festival comes to town.) If hitting the slopes—or trails—isn’t your definition of a good time, the restaurants, galleries and luxe boutiques on Main Street won’t disappoint.

Find a great place to stay in Park City!

Fayetteville, West Virginia

Given West Virginia’s nickname (“The Mountain State”) and motto (“Mountaineers are Always Free”), the state’s rugged peaks are an essential part of its heritage—just as much as the small towns nestled in the Allegheny and Blue Ridge Mountain ranges. Fayetteville is one of those charming destinations, home to the oldest river on the continent and the world’s second-longest single arch bridge. Aside from the region’s legendary whitewater rafting, Fayetteville is also known for rock climbing, llama treks(!) and Bridge Day, an annual October festival and sporting event centered around BASE jumping.

Find a great place to stay in Fayeteville!

Gatlinburg, Tennessee

Gatlinburg is practically synonymous with Great Smoky Mountains National Park and those iconic misty mountain ridges. It’s a regional hub for whitewater rafting, horseback riding, ziplining and a long list of other popular outdoor activities; visit in the winter, and you can even fly down the slopes at Ober Gatlinburg, Tennessee’s only ski resort. Beyond the scenery, though, this entertaining mountain vacation town is known for its boutiques, live bluegrass and a surprising number of distilleries. Ever wondered what apple pie moonshine tastes like? You can sample it here. Make a day trip of it and book yourself a moonshine and wine tasting tour.

Find a great place to stay in Gatlinburg!

Homer, Alaska

Homer has its fair share of nicknames: “Halibut Fishing Capital of the World.” “Cosmic Hamlet by the Sea.” “The End of the Road.” But make no mistake about that last one: this destination is not a dead end. Hemmed in by the mountains and the sea, Homer boasts the best of both worlds, so you can go hiking on Kenai Peninsula trails in the morning and sea kayaking on the Kachemak Bay in the afternoon. Well on its way to becoming the state’s adventure tourism capital, the quaint and quirky mountain town lures Alaskans and out-of-state travelers alike with its mild climate, jaw-dropping scenery, excellent fishing and prime bear viewing opportunities. You can even book a six-hour grizzly bear-spotting tour, including a thrilling plane ride and a hike to get a closer look at these fascinating creatures.

Find a great place to stay in Homer!

Hood River, Oregon

Hood River has been called both “a recreational boomtown” and “an agricultural powerhouse,” because the Columbia River port city is equally famous for its strong winds (a windsurfer’s dream) and good fruit. Located an hour east of Portland, where the Columbia River Gorge meets the Cascade Mountain Range, the area boasts some of the best windsurfing in the world and 15,000 acres of orchards—plus microbreweries, top-notch cycling, scenic gorges and balmy temperatures nearly year-round. Pair a leisurely cycle with some first-rate wine tasting on the Oregon Wine Country Experience, a guided cycle stopping at three wineries and offering some of the area’s best views.

Find a great place to stay in Hood River!

Ketchum, Idaho

Whether you’re a daredevil biker, skier or mountaineer, it’s about time you (ahem) caught up with Ketchum—the self-described home of “one of the lowest resting heart rates anywhere.” Once a Wild West mining center, this central Idaho town is just one mile from Sun Valley, the first American ski resort. Naturally, skiing is an essential part of the fabric of the community (and with 250 days of sunshine each year, it’s not a bad place to visit if you’re craving a little fresh air). Reserve a cabin rental or luxury lodge and prepare for an epic outdoor adventure.

Find a great place to stay in Ketchum!

Killington, Vermont

Best known for its namesake resort, Killington boasts 6 peaks, 22 lifts, 155 trails and 3,000 skiable acres, making it the largest ski area in the eastern US. Eleven miles away, the Nordic Ski and Snowshoe Center offers more than 35 miles of cross-country skiing and snowshoe trails. And while we’re crunching the numbers, here are five reasons—music festivals, mountain climbing, biking, hiking and golf—to visit after the snow melts. Oh, and one more thing: Killington has played host to three Spartan World Championship events. (We think that about sums it up.)

Lake Almanor Area, California

In northeastern California, where the Cascades and Sierra Nevadas meet, Lake Almanor offers swimming, tubing, kayaking, canoeing and 52 miles of forested shoreline. If lazy summer lake days aren’t your style, the region’s great trails and beautiful meadows are also perfect for snowshoeing and cross-country skiing when colder weather sets in. No matter when you visit, thanks to the number of smallmouth bass, giant rainbow trout and kokanee salmon, the fishing is great year-round.

Leavenworth, Washington

For a feel-good comeback story, look no further than the tale of Leavenworth. After the decline of the area’s railway and timber industries in the 1960s, the former logging town remodeled its buildings to create a Bavarian-style alpine village. In the decades since, Leavenworth has become a bustling tourist destination known for its Cascade Mountain scenery and a packed calendar of festivals and performances. If you visit during the summer, don’t leave without catching an outdoor show at the Leavenworth Summer Theater; during the winter, backcountry skiing and snowmobiling are two exciting ways to explore the surrounding region.

Red Lodge, Montana

If you don’t know about Red Lodge’s skiing and snowboarding scene, here’s what you’ve been missing: affordable prices, heart-stopping vistas and plenty of fresh powder (around 250 inches of snow each year). Avoid the crowds at big-name resorts and opt in for a cabin rental with stunning views of the Beartooth Mountains. When warmer weather arrives, this desirable mountain towns town becomes a hot spot for climbing, fishing, rafting and horseback riding. What’s more? In Red Lodge’s historic downtown, you’ll find plenty of unique local spots to shop, eat and enjoy a pint.

Taos, New Mexico

Perhaps best known for Taos Pueblo, the only living Native American community to be declared both a National Historic Landmark (1965) and a UNESCO World Heritage Site (1992), Taos is a desert town at the base of the Sangre de Cristo Range. Here, galleries, museums and landmark sites are not difficult to come by—but neither are legendary hikes and unforgettable mountain vistas. For a great introduction to Taos, book a guided driving tour, which includes Taos Pueblo and the Rio Grande Gorge. Craving cold-weather activities? Seventeen miles northeast of the town, Taos Ski Valley offers skiing and snowboarding during the winter.

Telluride, Colorado

Welcome to Rocky Mountain High Country. If the skyline is giving you a case of déjà vu, it might be because you’ve seen it before—on a can of Coors beer. Telluride is an iconic spot, home to cabin rentals with soaring mountain views and the dazzling slopes skiers dream of all year. We’re partial to the excellent hikes (don’t miss the trek to 365-foot Bridal Veil Falls), thriving restaurant scene (try the buffalo, venison or elk) and buzzy annual events like the Telluride Bluegrass Festival.

Hello! Im still new to ski jumping, so I wanted to ask if there are any upcoming events?

Hi Anon! I hope you’ve enjoyed whatever ski jumping you’ve already watched - we’re coming towards the end of the season now, but there’s still plenty of cool things to look forward to (... depending on the coronavirus situation)

This weekend coming (12th-14th of Feb) was meant to have competitions for the men and women in Beijing in preparation for next year’s Olympics - however, that’s not been possible, and so the men have competitions in Zakopane, Poland, and the women have... nothing, as their rescheduled competition in Lillehammer was cancelled.

The weekend after that (18th-20th of Feb) the men and women (I believe?) both have competitions on the normal hill in Rasnov, Romania.

After that, we get the Nordic Ski World Championships from the 22nd of February to the 7th of March. These are held once every two years, and feature ski jumping, nordic combined, and cross-country skiing. The ski jumping competitions there are as follows:

24th Feb - women’s normal hill qualification

25th Feb - women’s individual normal hill competition

26th Feb - women’s team competition + men’s normal hill qualification

27th Feb - men’s normal hill individual competition

28th Feb - mixed team competition

2nd Mar - women’s large hill qualification

3rd Mar - women’s large hill competition

4th Mar - men’s large hill qualification

5th Mar - men’s large hill competition

6th Mar - men’s team competition

If that sounds like something you might want some time to emotionally recover from, too bad, because the Raw Air tournament runs from the 12th of March to the 21st of March (hopefully! There’s been talk that it might be cancelled, but the FIS website still lists it as happening). The specific competitions in Raw Air are:

12th-14th Mar - Oslo (men + women)

15th-16th Mar - Lillehammer (men + women)

17th-18th Mar - Trondheim (men + women)

19th-21st Mar - Vikersund (men only)

The women don’t compete on the flying hill in Vikersund (because the FIS are cowards), and instead travel to Russia to do the Blue Bird Tournament from the 19th of March to the 28th of March. The specifics:

19th-21st Mar - Nizhny Tagil

26th-28th Mar - Chaikovsky

The men close their season with ski flying at Planica from the 25th to the 28th of March.

#also the 28th is my birthday so you all have to be nice to me then #ski jumping #Anonymous
