The first official ski jumping competition of the Whitehall Ski Club took place on January 6th, 1933. In the run-up to the competition on January 29, 1938, the ski jump on the Herberg farm north of Whitehall was improved and equipped with an inrun tower with a 37° incline. It then allowed jumps of more than 45 meters. In 1948, a jump on this ski jumping hill went down in history: Conrad Johnstad somersaulted when landing at about 30 meters - fortunately, he survived and got away with a few bruises. Furthermore, in 1941-42 a junior hill was supposed to be build on the grounds of the golf club in town.
