Thanks for your comment and the information about the vision and how the current (new) hill can be enlarged. It looks very interesting and is new to me.

I know about the rule concerning the height difference and I never proclaimed it would be able to fly 270 meters with the current regulations.
I have just researched on the internet and found a community thread on the website skyscrapercity.com in which a user wrote that the Eurosport commentator from his country said on air the last distance mark in Planica would be 270 meters. ().
That would actually have not been a surprise, because also Vikersund has distance marks above 260 meters.
I just mentioned that to let the readers know how many speculations I have also noticed before my trip, which became not true later on.

Thank you anyway for that comment, it showed you really read the article carefully :)

plans and vision of Janez Gorišek how the totally new flying hill (300 m+) with new axis and direction will be positioned in far future.

270 meters confusion

Hello! I see a lot of confusion with that statement of ski jumping fans across the Europe.

It was never claimed that 270 meters will be possible this year but only when FIS will allow more than 135 meters height difference in the future. Maybe in next 10-20 years.

Gorišek was really talking about 270 meters. But what he meant was that hill is built in that way that for low cost reconstruction in the future (simply cut of a couple of meters of the take-off table) it will be easy modernized up to max. 270 m

For more than that we Will have to build totally new flying hill with differen axis and direction.

I hope you understand it
