Vinjarengen celebrated his first success by winning the silver medal in individual Nordic Combined at the 1928 Winter Olympics in St. Moritz . In the same year he set a new hill record with 47.5 meters on the Holmenkollbakken in Oslo, which was surpassed by his compatriot Alf Andersen in the same year . A year later, at the Norwegian Championships in Kongsberg in 1929 , he won his first Norwegian championship title in the combined singles ahead of Johan Grøttumsbråten and Trygve Brodahl . A little later he started at the Nordic World Ski Championships in Zakopane in 1929 and won the world championship title in the individual combination. In the special jumpers he came in fifth from the K90 hill. A year later at the Nordic World Ski Championships in Oslo in 1930 he defended his individual title. This was the first time that he won the Holmenkollen Ski Festival, which also included the World Championship.

In 1931 Vinjarengen received the Holmenkollen Medal together with Ole Stenen . In the same year he won the bronze medal in singles at the Norwegian Championships . In the competition at Holmenkollen he came third.

At the 1932 Winter Olympics in Lake Placid , he was unable to defend his silver medal from 1928, but made it to third place behind his compatriots Johan Grøttumsbraaten and Ole Stenen and thus won bronze. He was still on the silver rank after the jumping, but only came fourth in the cross-country skiing that followed. On the Holmenkollen he finished second a little later. In 1933 Vinjarengen won the Lahtispelen combination competition.

At the Nordic World Ski Championships in Sollefteå in 1934 , he won bronze in singles. For the first time he started as a cross-country skier and finished fourth in the 4x10 km relay. Shortly afterwards he was able to win his second and last national title at the Norwegian Championships in Porsgrunn in 1934 .

At the German and Wehrmacht Ski Championships from February 3 to 13, 1938 on the Black Forest Hill in Titisee-Neustadt , he was German champion. At the Nordic World Ski Championships in Lahti in 1938 , his last international tournament, he again won bronze in the individual.

After the end of his active career, Vinjarengen worked as a truck driver in Oslo, where he died in 1984. However, he remained active in his hometown club until his death.
