Ski jumpers realize their dream of flying every time they soar above the snow as they chase their dreams of long flights and high scores. By combining body and ski positioning, air currents and skill, the ski jumper's goal is to stay airborne as long as possible. With the right combination of factors, a skilled ski jumper can soar more than the length of a football field.
