The U.S. is scheduled to host World Cup freestyle skiing and snowboarding events this winter, even though the Alpine skiing World Cup is skipping its traditional North American stops.
The International Ski Federation (FIS) confirmed World Cup schedules for freestyle skiing and snowboarding for the 2020-21 season, the year before the next Winter Olympics in Beijing.
Three U.S. venues — Copper Mountain, Colo., Mammoth Mountain, Calif., and Deer Valley, Utah — are slated to host 22 total events with coverage on NBC Sports. All competitions are pending state and local approvals, and Copper Mountain and Deer Valley will not have spectator zones.
