Verkhnyaya Inta K285

Huge hill in Russia

In the remote town of Verkhnyaya Inta, Russia, stands a colossal ski jump with a K-point of 285 meters, built during the late 1980s as part of a Soviet plan to dominate winter sports. However, with the collapse of the USSR, the project was never fully realized. The ski jump was used briefly in the early 1990s before being abandoned due to financial struggles.

Today, the rusting structure remains a ghostly monument to Soviet ambition, attracting occasional tourists and thrill-seekers. The Ski Jump, though never used to its full potential, serves as a reminder of a grand, unfulfilled dream.
