The International Ski Federation (Fédération Internationale de Ski; FIS) has opposed the increase in hill sizes, and do not recognize any world records.James, Kathleen (July–August 2011)''Skiing Heritage Journal'' p. 3, at Google Books. International Skiing History Association. Retrieved 14 May 2024. Since 1936, when the first jump beyond 100 metres (330 ft) was made, all world records in the sport have been made in the discipline of ski flying, an offshoot of ski jumping using larger hills where distance is explicitly emphasised.
