Hillsize

The hillize point (and the transverse line containing it) is at a 32 degree slope of the landing slope.

Hill Size (of English hill size for "ski jump size", abbreviated HS , also Hill size ) is a term from the ski jumping and refers to a measure of the size of a ski jump .

In the past, only the construction point (K point) and the jury width existed as official sizes . In summer 2004 the hill size was introduced as a new term to simplify the determination of the hill size. Depending on the ski jump, the hill size roughly corresponds to the jury width, which has hardly played a role in linguistic usage since then. The K point, however, was retained, as this is still relevant for the jump distance points awarded.

definition

The hill size is defined as the distance (the shortest, but not necessarily continuous, straight connection that does not run in any part of the ground ; possibly follows the contour of the landing slope in parts) between the edge of the take-off table and that point on the landing slope (hill size point ), at which the exit of the hill still has a slope of 32 degrees. The further the point of landing is shifted towards the run-out zone, the smaller the gradient and, in the opposite direction, always larger until it reaches a maximum. After that, d. H. even closer to the take-off, the gradient is smaller again.

The hill size point is marked with a continuous cross line on the landing track.
