History:

The first ski jumping hill in Blommen was built in 1928. It was known for its long inrun and steep landing slope and therefor a big challenge back in the day. Due to its profile, it only allowed jumps around 50 meters. In 1932, an inrun tower was built. Even though the hill became even bigger, it also was safer and easier to jump. The last jump on this hill took place in 1955. Afterwards, it was abandoned after a dispute with the landowner.
Already in 1934, Verdal IL built a second ski jumping hill, which was a little smaller than the Storblommen. In 1961, this one came back to life, even though massive land works had to be done. It took two years until the construction was completed, but then it could finally be inaugurated with a firework. From 1978 on, the annual and very popular Stiklestad Skifestival was held. A special edition of it was the one in 1982, since the one and only Bjørn Dæhlie was among the competitors in the age category of the 14- and 15-year-old.
The last competition on the largest hill was back in 1990, the last jumpers on the smaller hills were in 2001. The 60-meter-hill was on the far left, in the middle were K48 and K28 hill and on the right the K18 and K12.
