In 1950's there were plans to convert it to ski flying hill, but finally the plans were rejected. In 1962 hill was reconstructed and became a large hill with K-point on 110 meter. In 1981 and 1983 World Cup competitions took place on the Skuibakken, won by Horst Bulau and Armin Kogler. In 1989 and 1990 World Cup competitions were cancelled due to lack of snow.
