The player views the hill from a side-on perspective and controls a ski jumper during the inrun, takeoff, flight, and landing. The objective is to maximize jump distance while maintaining a stable posture and avoiding a fall.

Jumps are organized around selectable hills or competitions, with results determined by distance and landing quality. Progression is based on learning each hill, refining timing, and achieving better scores rather than unlocking a story campaign.

Build a consistent approach before attempting maximum distance. Concentrate on a clean takeoff and make small balance corrections during flight; large corrections are more likely to destabilize the jumper.

Study the landing slope and aim to arrive with enough control for a safe landing. Repeating the same hill is useful because timing and wind conditions can be judged against previous attempts.
