How to jump on skis
Skiing / Popular
Take off, fly and land safely on a jump.
What coaches agree on
- Pop off the lip with your whole body: bend your knees, then drive up through your legs and arms together, timed for the moment your skis leave the takeoff.
- Start on small jumps and only step up to medium and large ones once you're comfortable and consistent on the smaller size.

- Before you drop in on an unfamiliar jump, learn the right speed by watching someone else hit it, asking a rider at the top, or following an experienced skier in.
Common mistakes
- Leaning back and popping off your heels is the most common beginner error, putting you in the back seat and leading to a tail-heavy landing.
- Misjudging speed and landing short, on the knuckle or the flat instead of the sweet spot, is a common error, and riders are far more likely to undershoot than overshoot.
