Hoeydalsmo

Hoeydalsmo is a village in Telemark county, Norway, with about 300 permanent residents which is well-known for its skiing facilities. From 2005 onwards, the Nordic Combined Contintal Cup has stopped in Hoeydalsmo time and time again. It also hosted the Norwegian Championships in 2002.
The Huka jumping centre was built in 1993 and was modernised for the Norwegian Championships in 2002. The centre consists of a HS94 normal hill and three smaller training hills. Because the local ski club wasn't able to prepare the hill properly on a regular basis, an automated preparing system was installed at the hill. On both sides of the hill, tracks for the machine were built so that it can automatically drive up and down to collect excessive snow and flatten the landing area without human help. The excessive snow is collected and stored in a big hall and saved over the summer. This way, it is easier to prepare the hill again in autumn. Hoeydalsmo has a modern network of cross-country tracks in every lenght which also was modernised for the Norwegian Championships.
