Skijump Day in Hervanta February 17th

Skijump

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to try ski jumping, or are you looking for new experiences in your life? Now’s your chance! SportUni and the ski jumping division of Tampereen Pyrintö are organizing a ski jumping trial day for anyone interested in the sport on Tuesday, February 17th. The event takes place at the Hervanta ski jumping hills, Hepolamminkatu 1. No previous experience is needed—just a pinch of courage!

We are organizing 3 two-hour taster sessions at 13:00, 15:00 and 17:00. Each group can accommodate 7 participants at a time, so make sure to sign up quickly! 

During the session, we will progress step by step from dryland practice toward the hill and skis. You’ll start by learning the basic skiing stance, takeoff technique, and balance. The goal is that by the end, you’ll have the courage to ski down the landing hill on ski jumping skis. After that, you may also try an actual jump if you feel like it and have the confidence (Note: jumps will be done from a small hill). 

The sessions will be guided by Pyrintö’s own ski jumpers, so you’ll be in good hands! 

Price: 

  • Free of charge for SportUni members 
  • For other members of Tuni community: 7 € per session (payment after registration at the Tamppi Areena customer service desk) 

Location: 

  • Hervanta ski jumping hills Hepolamminkatu 1 (meeting at the parking lot)
     

What to bring? 

  • Your own skiing helmet is required! 

Registration: 

Please note that neither SportUni nor Pyrintö provides insurance for the event. Make sure your own insurance covers ski jumping. 

We also kindly ask you to send your shoe size by email to emma.kosonen@tuni.fi after registering. This helps us prepare for the trial session, as Pyrintö has only a limited number of ski jumping boots available. 

See you on the hill!
