ski-jump
Flying downhill sport
A ski-jump is a steep ramp that curves upward at the end, launching skiers into the air for distance or acrobatic maneuvers.
The term also refers to the competitive event itself or the act of using such a ramp: She won gold in the ski-jump.
As a verb, to ski-jump is to perform this feat.
The distinctive upturned shape lends itself to comparisons: a ski-jump nose.
