I disagree with Powderjunkie. Absolutely the sliding track would have to be completely torn down and rebuilt. It doesn't have to be "more dangerous" but it does need to be faster and more technical. Right now it's known as pretty much the easiest track on the circuit by the IBSF.
You mention that Worlds were held here in 2006, yet in the interim I think nearly all of the major tracks have had upgrades and in some cases, significant redesigns to bring them up to par.
Wins port just upgraded the mogul hill at COP to make it a better World Cup stop. We haven't held an aerials event in about 4 or 5 years but I suspect they would do the same to that part of the hill and put the facility right next to the moguls hill.
Rather than a new Ski Jump location I suspect wind screens would be added to the existing part of the hill. There were plans for that a few years ago.
