Another term for ski flying, it is a winter sport where athletes jump down a ramp similar to a small snow hill and use skis to launch themselves into the air. Ideally, they would leap as far as possible from the ramp, just like in acrobatic skydives, aiming for the greatest distance without crossing into ever more successful types, such as the short takeoff ramp requirements.
A ski-tow, also known as a tow rope or boot track, is a mechanical device used in winter sports to pull skiers up a slope or hill, either for recreational or instructional purposes. It typically consists of a rope or cable connected to a pulley system, which is usually operated by a machine or human.

A skiascope is a device that measures the angular divergence of light rays as they pass through an optical system, such as an optical instrument or an optical system within the eye. It is used to determine the correct orientation and positioning of optical components, or to measure the correction needed for presbyopia, a condition where the lens of the eye loses its flexibility with age.
