The Zaō-Schanze ( Japanese 蔵 王 ジ ャ ン プ 台 , Zaō jampu-dai ) is a ski jumping facility in the Japanese city ​​of Yamagata , the capital of the prefecture of the same name , in the north of the main island of Honshū . It is located in the sparsely populated southeastern district of Zaō Onsen ( 蔵 王 温泉 ), a ski area characterized by thermal springs ( Onsen ) at the foot of Mount Zaō .

history

Since the completion of the normal hill , which is not covered with plastic matting, a ski jumping festival has been held there every winter. In the 1998/99 season it was the first venue for FIS competitions. A total of ten competitions of the Continental Cup , the second highest competition class, took place there until March 2003 , before the hill was taken out of the program. With the establishment of the Continental Cup as the highest competition class for women in the winter of 2004/05, the hill came back into focus and was included in this new jumping calendar from the second season - the FIS Cup was also added . When the World Cup was introduced for women in 2011/12 , the Zaō hill was taken over, so that the best female ski jumpers in the world have been competing there ever since. The FIS Cup was withdrawn from Yamagata.
