History:

There had been several temporal ski jumping hills in the Californian metroplois of Los Angeles from 1930's to 1960's.

The first ski jumping hill was built up in 1935 in the open air event centre “Hollywood Bowl”. Therefore tons of snow were transferred to the city from the mountains by trucks . Winner of the day in class A was Olaf Telleffsen from the local Viking Ski Club with a distance of 120 feet.
Among the competitors was Johnny Elvrum, who held the American ski jumping record of 240 feet.
