The Kiremitliktepe Ski Jump, situated on the highway D.950 about 3 km (1.9 mi) southwest of the city, is at the base of Palandöken Mountain that rise up to 3,271 m (10,732 ft) altitude.
[2][3] The construction, carried out by the Sarıdağlar company, was completed within ten months, and the sport complex opened in September 2010.
The venue was renamed in January 2011 after the Turkish telecommunications company Türk Telekom, the main sponsor of the 2011 Winter Universiade.
[6] On investigation it was noted that the construction completely lacked foundations, the ski slopes and seating being laid directly onto bare earth.
[7] However, the ski runs were competently rebuilt using proper foundations[8] and the facilities were operating again by 2018, hosting international events.
The high-tech ice-ceramic track inruns and plastic matt covered ski-jump landing area enable equal competition conditions in winter season as well as during the rest of the year irrespectively of the weather.
[1] The complex offers accommodation in the hotel near the large hill and in the bungalows on top of the center, and catering in the restaurant atop the main ski jump tower.
