History
The upper and the normal hill were built in 1974 and were from the 1979/ 1980 to the 1991/ 1992 annual World Cup station, sometimes there also took place the season opener. In the 1980s, the hills were declared a national training center and in 1985 began with the construction of four youth hills ( K 64, K 37, K 20 and K 10 ), of which the two largest were even covered with mats. They were completed in 1986 and called Little Thunder. Shortly thereafter, cross-country trails were built and applied for the Nordic World Ski Championships 1995. 1992 were the two big hills in a new elevator and were equipped with floodlights. After the successful World Cup promotion for the winter sports area was canceled and so it had to close 30 June 1996. After reactivation plans in 2002 and 2008 failed, plan the Friends of Big Thunder a new attempt to reactivate. You try to get 25 million euros, at least to re-open the cross-country and the youth jumps, including where possible the wholesale and the normal hill.
