History:

At Asker, a city with 50,000 inhabitants with large suburban communities, there have been ski jumping activities already since 1889 on several hills.
In the district Holmen the homonymous ski jumping facility is located, which ski jumping roots lead back until 1923. The large K59 ski jump was built with a new tower and floodlights in 1959 and later underwent several renovations. In 1961, Holmen Idrettsforening received a guarantee from the municipality for a loan of NOK 15,000 from Bergen Privatbank to rebuild Holmenbakken, which meant the final end for the then popular Furubakken.
Since middle 1990’s the largest hill, which was one of the most popular of whole Norway in 1960’s and 70’s, can no longer be used and despite the very good education of young jumpers in the ski club – Tom Hilde from Asker joined the Norwegian national team in 2006 – it is still questionable whether it will be rebuilt or not.
