What is the steepest part of a GS run?
I am looking for rather sustained parts, not just 10 feet of steep.
And the ski flying ramp? What that slope?
Got some people wondering, and I know someone knows this.
Thanks for replying in degrees, and links appreciated.

GS & Ski Flying Slopes?
Ski, Bike, Climb.
Resistence is futile.

Steepness will generally depend on the GS course being set and which hill. Do some research on the FIS website, they have all the rule books in PDF format, you should be able to find the tolerances there, for both ski flying & Gs

I would guess that the steepest GS hills are in the neighborhood of 30 degrees. The landing hill of a ski jump is probably in the 40's. I don't know about the ramp itself.
