Intermountain Health Freestyle International is Back; Most Domestic Freestyle World Cups Since 1997

The 2024-25 season is right around the corner, and it includes one of the most exciting domestic freestyle World Cup seasons yet. For the first time since 1997, there will be three FIS Freestyle World Cups on home snow, providing exciting opportunities to watch the best in the world battle it out in our backyard. This is also the first time that three different locations will be hosting freestyle World Cups since 1982. Additionally, U.S. Ski & Snowboard announced that Stifel will come on as the presenting partner of the Intermountain Health Freestyle International presented by Stifel at Deer Valley in February.

Freestyle Domestic World Cup Schedule

FIS Freestyle World Cup // Lake Placid, NY

The domestic World Cup season kicks off on Jan. 18-19, 2025, in Lake Placid, New York, for men’s and women’s aerials and a mixed aerials team event. This is the first-ever World Cup mixed aerials team event in the United States. Lake Placid and the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Training Center there hold immense importance to the freestyle community as it is one of the major development sites in the U.S. Many Stifel U.S. Freestyle Ski Team athletes, including Olympic gold medalist Chris Lillis made their start in the sport in New York, so bringing the World Cup back for the first time since 2018 is the homecoming many have been waiting for.

Waterville Freestyle Cup // Waterville Valley, NH

The following weekend, the moguls athletes are returning to the birthplace of freestyle skiing, Waterville Valley, New Hampshire, for the Waterville Freestyle Cup. From Jan. 24-25, 2025, the athletes will take on a set of moguls and dual moguls events. Last year's event was a resounding success, with four U.S. podiums and 11 super finals appearances across seven athletes. The events are set to take place on the iconic Lower Bobby’s Run, a double black diamond that has become a home base for U.S. Freestyle Championships.
