A skiing or skiing-related jumping technique in which a skier launches off steep terrain, typically in mountainous or backcountry settings.
From German 'Gelände' (terrain/ground) + 'jump'. The term comes from Alpine skiing vocabulary where gelandesprung and related techniques were developed for navigating steep mountain slopes.
Gelandejump is part of skiing's hidden vocabulary—most people don't realize there's a whole technical language for doing jumps off scary mountain terrain that German and Austrian skiers invented.
