This old ski jump is towering over Murmansk like a huge dinosaur. But a 50m skeleton and this old wooden “skin” is everything that has remained from the pride of the local skiers.

Wonderful views can be seen from above the ski jump , but today we focus only upon rusted metal and decaying wood. Comment is needless.

Cool
would of been good to see pics of it in its heyday!
It does not look so good so it is good they closed it.
when was it built?
coollll
If Sochi gets too little snow, they should move the nordic competitions there!
The reason it’s so beat up is because it talked back to Matti Nykänen!
I always wonder about the exact moment it went from “great slope” to “dangerous firetrap”.
Give me some roller blades and I’ll jump it today
No wonder why russian athletes performace in winter olympics was so poor.

Wow, check out the photos on Google Earth – there were 3 or 4 of these jumps next to each other. Must have been an impressive facility in its heyday.
Looks safe to me. =]
it is like russia, big dreams – big hopes – good engineering and now decay. Shadow of its former glory
Communism doesn’t work…so much abandoned stuff….
This is Euro Disney – not an “Abandoned Ski Jump In Murmansk!”
Thanks for posting.
All the best,
