Synopsis
Celebrities competed in a series of winter sports events, under the tutelage of Graham Bell, Amy Williams, and Eddie 'The Eagle' Edwards over the course of a week. Each night two or more celebrities faced a live ski jump in order to keep their place in the competition.
As well as the titular ski jumping, the show demonstrated time-trial and parallel slalom, skeleton bobsleigh, full bobsleigh, speed skating, speed skiing, and ski-cross.
The series courted injury from the start, and finished with a sicklist of six: two pulled out in rehearsals, two were injured during the first few days of competition, and two were unable to finish the final through injury.
