Temporary Ski Jumps are Mental
There aren’t many things that genuinely impress me. Trains, planes, mountains, the Pyramids (I imagine they’d impress me, I’ve yet to see them), bridges and rivers. Yet today I can add another to that non-exhaustive list: temporary ski-jumps.
I found this blog entry the other day and have been staring in wonder at the sheer size and audacity of these structures. Here’s an image of one from Vancouver, built in 1958.
Empire Stadium, Vancouver, April 30th 1958.
There’s a few things that make me wonder:
- How do you get to the top?
- How far up would you feel at the top?
- How awful would it be to go down?
- Why?
