Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Europe, definitely Europe. Maybe Norway, which is where I belive ski jumping (flying?) originated ? ???

Whitegold, yes, judging by the commentator's lingo. There's a clue on the front face of the jump... a logo... I'm gonna say Garmisch.

Rule out Innsbruck (no graveyard). The tress don't look like Norway. So, I still say Garmisch but it could be Oberstdorf.

Judging by the commentry i'd say Oberstdorf...(he talks about the 4 hills and says even someone from oberstdorf has won it..which I reckon you'd only point out if it was a film about oberstdorf.)

as for the skier...it looks like a few different ones juding by the different bib numbers..though on one bit he says that 'this jump' was won by Max Bolkart...so that could be Max Bolkart in the shot..but it also confirms that its oberstdorf

Quote:

Max Bolkart (born July 29, 1932 in Oberstdorf). was a West German ski jumper who competed from 1954 to 1966. He finished fourth in the individual large hill at the 1956 Winter Olympics in Cortina d'Ampezzo and sixth in the same event at the 1960 Winter Olympics in Squaw Valley.

Bolkart is best known as being the winner of the Four Hills Tournament in 1959-60 when he won three of the four events (Oberstdorf, Garmisch-Partenkirchen, and Innsbruck) while finishing fifth in the last event at Bischofshofen. Those three victories were the only ones in his career.
