History:

The history of the Store Stokkleiva ski jumping hill begins in the early 1930s, when the Strinda Idrettslag club inaugurated a large facility on the Stokkleiva hill to complement the nearby Lille Stokkleiva ski jump. The first and only competition on it was held on March 31, 1935, with Bjarne Schjerve of Freidig as the winner. At the same event, Einar Wangsvik set the first record for this facility with a jump of 65 meters. Interestingly, this competition had a very large attendance; more than 2,000 spectators watched. The Store Stokkleiva hill was one of the largest in Norway at the time, but due to its very makeshift construction it posed some danger to the competitors jumping there. According to them, the landing hill was so steep that it was like jumping into an elevator shaft. In the second half of the 1930s there were plans to rebuild it into a 100-meter facility. However, this concept was not realized, as the Stokkleiva hill often experienced very unfavorable weather conditions, which would have made it difficult to erect such a large structure and hold competitions there. Store Stokkleiva was most likely demolished in the late 1930s and early 1940s due to its danger to jumpers and the greater interest in competitions at the nearby Lille Stokklieva. Nowadays the area is already overgrown and it is impossible to find any remnants of this ski jump.
