Facilities
The venue consists of three hills, each tailor-made for aerials, moguls and ski ballet, respectively. Above the Olympic hills is a 1-kilometer (0.6 mi) long tobogganing hill which uses the competitive area as a finish. At the base of the hill is the spectator area, which featured temporary bleachers during the Olympics. The spectator capacity for aerials and ski ballet is 15,000, while it is 12,000 for moguls. Also at the foot of the hill is a jury tower overlooking the aerials hill. The venue is equipped with snowmaking equipment, a T-bar lift and floodlights. The arena is located next to the ski jumping hill Lysgårdsbakken, with which it shares some broadcasting and telecommunications facilities. During the Olympics, 800 square meters (8,611 sq ft) of temporary buildings, including tents, were erected at the venue. Kanthaugen is one kilometer (half a mile) east of Lillehammer's town center and owned and operated by Lillehammer Olympiapark, a subsidiary of Lillehammer Municipality.

“Marriage is good enough for the lower classes: they have facilities for desertion that are denied to us.”
