Yea I worked at COP, the largest of the 3 ski jumps is out dated and no longer usable for world cup comps or training. The smaller jumps are still used.
The problem is the airtime jumpers are getting today is longer than the runout that the calgary jumps to allow...so basically if they went flying off they'd land on flat ground and kill themselves, which kinda takes the fun out of it. The 90 meter tower is now being used for the skyline...which is a ridiculously fast and long (fastest and longest in the world actually) zipline. So they've at least found another use for it.
