Yes, exactly.
Actually they will break down the whole ski-jump and build a completely new one. A more... let's say "professional" one. 
So, there will be no Ski-Jumping Competition next year. We will have to wait until 2010 to see the Royal Family at the brandnew Holmenkollen-jump again. 
There also won't be any Country-Cross or Biathlon competitions at the Holmenkollen next year.

Love Mette-Marit's and Ingrid's braids. Both looked very cute. I wonder why Marius and Magnus weren't there, though. Maybe Marius was with his father, or they were sick, or something.
Why aren't they going to have one of these next year?

Because the arena itself is being renovated/rebuilt.

Lovely picures. Nice to see the Danish Queen here as well. It's always great to see Princes Ingrid Alexandra. She looks so sweet with her braids, and I noticed she is wearing traditional sami shoes. I liked the pictures of her with her grandfather the King.

Magnus and Marius didn't attend. I have no idea why. Maybe Marius spent time with his father.
And maybe it was too cold for Magnus... it was really windy and really not the best weather. Many Norwegians stayed at home (it wasn't as crowded in the ski-stadium either... )
