SKI JUMP (top of Jump) Lake Placid, NY Olympic Complex

Does any sport try so hard to defy the force of gravity as ski jumping? At the Olympic Jumping Complex, you'll see up close what World Cup athletes will do to ignore, for as long as possible, that downward pull.
Lake Placid's jumping tradition reaches back to the 1920s. It wasn't long after Wright brothers took off in North Carolina that the people of Lake Placid began experimenting with flight themselves. Except, they left out the wings and propellers.
