History:
Lifjøllbakken was the largest ski jumping hill in Bø, Telemark, belonging to the club Lifjøll IL, founded in February 1899. The K60 hill was built in 1930 on the slopes between Oterholt, Folkestad and Østerli, as part of the rapid development of ski jumping in the Bø region, following earlier hills in Gullbring, Torstveit and Åsekollen. It was the biggest of all the hills in the area.
Its opening in February 1941 was held as a landsrenn (national-level competition) and was broadcast on Norwegian radio – making it one of the few ski events organized in Telemark during the occupation. At that time, the club Lifjøll IL was led by members of Nasjonal Samling (NS).
The hill was in use until the 1950s. The longest jumps were recorded in the 1951 season: Helge Nyheim reached 63.0 m (unofficial record), while Arvid Standeren set the official record at 58.5 m. Earlier, in 1948, Standeren – then a junior – made a 64 m training jump on the large Hantobakken hill in Lunde, longer than the official record there at the time. Nyheim remained among the region’s leading Nordic skiers into the late 1950s, taking second place in Nordic combined at the Oddbakken competition in 1959.
The hill was taken out of use in the second half of the 1950s and no longer exists today.
