The Olympics spurred local interest in Alpine skiing and many young people bought equipment. Starting in the 1960s, several new courses were built. A snow groomer was bought in 1969. Norefjell was selected as the central Alpine skiing venue for Buskerud and Vestfold in 1972, which eased access to state grants. Construction of Bøe Ski Center started but was never completed according to the plans. Snowmaking equipment was installed in 1984. Construction of Aplinstua KIL, a lounge at the bottom of the hill, was started after the demolition of the technical building in 1986. Costing NOK 1.1 million, it served as a good source of income for Kørdsherad IL's Alpine group. It opened in time for the 1987 Winter Deaflympics. Floodlighting was installed in Vinkelheisbakken in 1988, costing NOK 550,000.
