New York's Bristol Mountain To Host 2022 US Aerials Freestyle National Championships March 19
Bristol Mountain and U.S. Ski & Snowboard are excited to announce that the 2022 U.S. Aerials Freestyle Championships will take place Saturday, March 19, 2021. Originally scheduled for Friday, December 31, the event was moved to later in the season to accommodate more snowmaking opportunities.
“We’re so excited to have the U.S. Aerials Freestyle Championships back at Bristol,” stated Bristol Mountain Vice President Steven Fuller. “We look forward to having spectators cheer on these incredible athletes. What an opportunity to have the best in the world competing right here in Rochester, NY.”
The event will welcome the United States’ top aerial skiers to compete for the National Championship. Over four days, including training, the championships will culminate with finals on Saturday, March 19, 2022, providing spectators ample opportunity to cheer as athletes soar to heights of more than 50 feet above the Bristol Valley. The 2021 U.S. Aerials Freestyle Champions were Bristol Mountain Freestyle Alum Christopher Lillis and three-time Olympian Ashley Caldwell from Ashburn, Virginia.
“Bristol has a spectacular venue to host this national competition,” said U.S. Ski & Snowboard Freestyle Director Jeremy Forster. “The whole team is very excited to be back and competing in Canandaigua, New York. The athletes can’t wait to showcase their talent as they end the 2022 season.”
Bristol Mountain was host to the 2020 U.S. Aerial Freestyle Championships on March 14, 2020, where Eric Loughran and Ashley Caldwell were named U.S. National Champions. View the full replay of the 2020 event on Bristol Mountain’s YouTube Channel: youtube.com/BristolMountain.
