from Garmisch-Partenkirchen Looking for a breath of fresh air after the week's festivities? How about climbing to the height of the dome of St Paul 's, stepping into special skis and launching yourself the distance of the pitch at Wembley Stadium. The longest jump should win, of course, but there is a snag - the judges, who mark your mid-air style!
