Following Oslo's decision to bid for the FIS Nordic World Ski Championships 1966, it became evident that more upgrades would be needed to meet the International Ski Federation's requirements.

To allow for longer jumps, the take-off needed to be moved back, and the lake dug deeper, with new concrete stands being built into the sides.

Combined with the tower being built taller, this gave a height difference between the start and the off-run, allowing for the desired lengths.

The championships were the first to use computer to calculate the scores, but communication still used wired telephones, as had been used during the Olympics.

The public announcement and scoreboard systems remained manual.
