Looking at the rail section if there not good enough to hit the bigger jumps chances are they wont make it to the bigger jumps. Rail section looks crazy!!

Cool ... That 2nd middle feature looks a bit phallic .. hope it doesn't get the course designer imprisoned in Siberia for some Russian anti-gay law breaking.

Looking pretty solid !
Do you guys think all the other FIS slope course before the Olympics will look similar to this ?

they always have ladies' tees like that..? gotta have something for the women and/or people who lose their speed

course looks good IMO. can't realistically hope for an olympic course to be less "stock" and they def put a lot of rail options in there, let's hope that keeps ballerina rail spins to a minimum

great thread OP thanks for posting

I want to see Putin hit those features in one of his look-at-me photoshoots.

He actually skies:

I'm actually impressed with the rail sections. I really thought they would be pretty dumbed down.

I fear every hill in the world may now try to duplicate this design. Not sure the athletes will like the standardization that release of this design could bring. Thoughts, riders?

The farthest rail feature on the right... does this make sense to anyone? The jump onto the the the take off of the rail? Or is it just the fact that this is an animation of what the course will look like?

Couldn't it be pretty stupid of them to release this already? Now some of the athletes would maybe start too practice more on some of the same elements.

That would be a bad thing? I reckon Hatveit has it already setup anyway...

Seriously though, if the guys built these features to practice on it would mean they would be able to throw down crazier tricks at the event, which is definitely something I would like to see.

yes, I thinks that it would be be thrown down more technically crazy stuff, but what about the creativity and style? I just thinks that machine guys would throw down some hard stuff, but I think that you would be more creative if you didn't know the course before you go over there.

What is this? A course for ants? How can we be expected to see skiers compete if they can't even fit inside the venue? The course has to be at least... three times bigger than this!

I wonder how big the jumps will end up being. Do you make them massive because it is the Olympics? or do make them similar any other competition so you have everyone comfortable....

looker's right**** for fuck's sake guys

but anyway-- yeah the far left feature on the first set is fine, i think it makes it look like there's plenty of lip to get on the up part

as for the far left feature on the 3rd set yeah idk it's weird how it looks like you land on a take off

but it's just a sketchup, it's not like those are the actual dimensions and angles and sizes
