How many people knows there is a ski jump arena in Denmark? Well, there is actually one north of Copenhagen.

This ski jump arena was constructed 1942-43 by Copenhagen Ski Club named after the famous one in Oslo, Norway, the Holmenkollen and had a K-point of 15 meters and the longest jump shold be 20 meters.
The first event was in february 1943. It was in use until mid 1950th. The snow came from Norway when there wasn't enough at the competitions.

The main event was a competition after the Olympic Winter Games of Oslo 1952. All contestants of the ski jump event were invited and many of them came. There came allmost 30000 spectators.

The photos shows the Holtekollens ski jump tower with man training ski jump.
A ski jumper in 1945 and 1956.
A competition in 1948 showed in a danish paper from 1948, there you can see how it looked like at that time.

Today it's more used by a BMX club.

# The Ice Stadium (Lo Stadio del ghiaccio) was intended to be the focal point of the Games. It was built at Maion on the banks of the Boite just north of Cortina. With the construction of new roads and a bridge the stadium was an eight minute walk from the center of Cortina. The stadium was built to accommodate 6,000–7,000 people. Due to the limitations on space the stadium seating was nearly vertical, with tiers built directly on top of each other. This venue was the most costly of all venues to construct totaling nearly ITL 1.3 billion. The stadium was used for all of the figure skating competitions. After the Games CONI made the Ice Stadium a gift to the city of Cortina. It was used as an ice skating rink in the winter and an outdoor gymnasium for judo and gymnastics in the summer.[13]]]> The Ice Stadium

Snowflex is a snow sports surfacing product, invented and manufactured by Briton Engineering Developments Ltd of Holmfirth, West Yorkshire in the UK.

The surface system is made of a polymer composite, comprising a monofilament fibre and impregnated carrier layer. This sits on top of a shock absorption layer, giving an authentic responsive and reactive feel. Other components in Snowflex include an integrated misting system, known as BritonMist, for friction reduction and an impervious membrane for recycling of water. The base is a woven controlling layer which prevents earth movement. The surface layer is manufactured in tile form and as such Snowflex forms a homogenous system which can be cut and formed into complex features and shapes.

Following its launch in 1996 Snowflex has been installed in a wide range of slope operations.

Recent projects include the West of Scotland Ski & Snowboard Centre in Bearsden, Glasgow and the Loisinord Ski Centre in Noeux les Mines, in the Pas de Calais region in France.]]> West of Scotland Snowflex Ski & Snowboard Centre

Skipsea Castle

Skipsea Castle is a Norman Motte and Bailey castle located south of Bridlington, East Riding of Yorkshire, England on the B1249 road at Skipsea Brough. All that remains visible today are the earthworks, having been destroyed by the order of Henry III of England

Skipsea Castle was built in and around 1086, in the years following the Norman Conquest by Drogo de la Bouerer, the First Earl of Holderness, in order to defend against Viking raids. He is related to William the Conqueror through marriage to William's cousin, and participated in the Norman Invasion of England. For this, William the Conqueror placed Drogo's name on the "immortal Roll of Honour of Battle Abbey at Senlac or Hasting", and rewarded Drogo with "so-called 'isle' of Holderness".

Although Drogo built the castle, he eventually fled back to Flanders because death of his wife whom he "unhappily killed". Drogo's hasty flight out of England has given rise to the legend that "Drogo murdered his wife by giving her a poison draught which he led her to believe was a love potion. He then rode a fast horse to the king's court, borrowed a large sum of money from William and took ship to the continent before news of his deeds could reach the court. The ghost of a 'lady in white' is said to haunt Castle Hill".

In the 13th century, William de Froz II, Lord of Holderness rebelled against the king. As a result, in 1221 William de Froz II was excommunicated and Skipsea Castle was destroyed. Eventually, William de Froz II reconciled with King Henry III in 1227. Skipsea Castle was returned to William de Froz II, but without any defences. According to local historians, "the gap in the earthwork known as the Scotch Gap is evidence of this".]]> Skipsea Castle

Skipsea Castle

Skipsea Castle is a Norman Motte and Bailey castle located south of Bridlington, East Riding of Yorkshire, England on the B1249 road at Skipsea Brough. All that remains visible today are the earthworks, having been destroyed by the order of Henry III of England

Skipsea Castle was built in and around 1086, in the years following the Norman Conquest by Drogo de la Bouerer, the First Earl of Holderness, in order to defend against Viking raids. He is related to William the Conqueror through marriage to William's cousin, and participated in the Norman Invasion of England. For this, William the Conqueror placed Drogo's name on the "immortal Roll of Honour of Battle Abbey at Senlac or Hasting", and rewarded Drogo with "so-called 'isle' of Holderness".

Although Drogo built the castle, he eventually fled back to Flanders because death of his wife whom he "unhappily killed". Drogo's hasty flight out of England has given rise to the legend that "Drogo murdered his wife by giving her a poison draught which he led her to believe was a love potion. He then rode a fast horse to the king's court, borrowed a large sum of money from William and took ship to the continent before news of his deeds could reach the court. The ghost of a 'lady in white' is said to haunt Castle Hill".

In the 13th century, William de Froz II, Lord of Holderness rebelled against the king. As a result, in 1221 William de Froz II was excommunicated and Skipsea Castle was destroyed. Eventually, William de Froz II reconciled with King Henry III in 1227. Skipsea Castle was returned to William de Froz II, but without any defences. According to local historians, "the gap in the earthwork known as the Scotch Gap is evidence of this".]]> http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/skipsea-castle/ http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/skipsea-castle/ Tue, 13 Mar 2007 10:00:52 -0700 http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/skipsea-castle/ 53.97852800 -0.22964000 <![CDATA[Silver Star]]> Silver Star

Built on what was previously desert sand, the slopes will be covered with manufactured snow all year round.

The centre has green, blue, red and black runs, chairlifts and snow patrols, like any other ski resort.

Pas de la Casa makes up one fifth of the Granvilara ski resort. "Pas de la Casa’s first lift was officially opened on the 1st of December of 1956. The Coll Blanc draglift was powered by a truck motor and became the first step towards what is now a great ski area.

Mr. Francesc Viladomat’s enterprising idea gave this small corner of Andorra a boost that would convert it into a town of 3000 permanent residents and with a hotel capacity of triple that of its population."]]> Pas de la Casa

Soldeu-El Tarter is actually two-fifths of the Grandvilara ski resort. Soldeu (on the east) "is the birthplace of skiing in the Principality of Andorra. Andorran skiing was born in Soldeu in 1924, when the Soldeu postman decided to exchange his typical snowshoes for the long wooden sticks that he’d seen used by the inhabitants ofthe French village of Porta. When the villagers saw him using these strange artefacts, they were surprised, but it didn’t take long to follow in his footsteps (or his ski tracks!)."]]> Soldeu-El Tarter
