Norway has been a part of the World Cup tour since 1968 including a dozen resorts from Oslo to Narvik until today. Its ski team has produced some of the finest champions of the 1990's including the two Overall World Cup winners Kjetil Aamodt and Lasse Kjus and the slalom Olympic Champion of 1992. It has also developed an attractive "Classic" on the demanding slopes of the Kvitfjell area where the speed events of the 1994 Olympics and the 1996 World Cup finals took place. Designed by Bernhard Russi, the "Whiteface" downhill course is one of the most challenging and spectacular on the tour. Situated a little more than an hour drive north from downtown Lillehammer on the road to Trondheim, the little village of Kvitfjell has the potential to grow into a vacation resort for summer and winter if more hotels and facilities are built at the base of the mountains. So far, only one large hotel has been built in that place which is a candidate for the 2005 FIS World Championships with Hafjell and Lillehammer.
