The returns of Shaun White and Chloe Kim to snowboard contests will not happen at Copper Mountain, Colo., a World Cup stop that has been canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The event for skiers and snowboarders in halfpipe and big air was scheduled for the week before Christmas. U.S. Ski & Snowboard, the International Ski Federation (FIS) and domestic resort partners are working on securing potential replacement venues.
White, 34 and a three-time Olympic halfpipe champion, hasn’t competed in snowboard since taking gold at the 2018 PyeongChang Winter Games. It’s by far his longest break between contests.
