continuing its contest-driven excursions for participants across the globe, airbnb has invited two prize winners to stay in one of norway’s most iconic sites: holmenkollen, an arena designed by JDS architects that has hosted ski jumping daredevils for both the world championships and winter olympics. the san francisco-based company has fully furnished the upper-most level as a cozy, yet expansive alpine retreat, with the apartment’s floor to ceiling windows allowing guests one of the best views imaginable of snow capped oslo.

Spectacular!
And I suppose that there is some way to handle the hot water and waste products produced by the visitors?
Wowzers. That room would sway with the wind no?? Not much to worry about for a super daredevil couple I guess??
