Shaun White is bringing The Snow League to Park City Mountain from Jan 22-24, 2027. The three-time Olympic gold medalist founded the league in 2024.
What is The Snow League?
The Snow League is a professional winter sports league dedicated to snowboarding and freeskiing, combining elite competition with a festival-style atmosphere.
The league's inaugural season featured two events in Aspen, Colorado, and one each at Yunding Snow Park in China and Laax, Switzerland, with a $2.2 million purse.
Why Park City?
Park City Mountain has always been one of the most important places in snowboarding and freeskiing, making it a special location for The Snow League's second season.
Shaun White stated that with the Winter Olympics returning to Utah in 2034, there's an incredible energy building in the community around winter sports.
What to Expect
The Park City competition will debut a 22-foot halfpipe at the base of the resort and a custom-built transition feature at Scott's Bowl.
The event will feature the world's top athletes in halfpipe snowboarding and freeskiing, live music, and fan experiences, celebrating winter sports culture.
Deirdra Walsh, Park City Mountain vice president and chief operating officer, said that bringing world-class athletes and an innovative competition format to Park City Mountain reinforces their place on the global stage.
The Snow League's first season champions are Sena Tomita and Yuto Totsuka in snowboarding and Eileen Gu and Luke Harrold in freeskiing.
The league has yet to announce other competition sites for next season.
The Park City competition comes during a weekend long associated with the Sundance Film Festival, which will no longer take place in Utah following its move to Boulder, Colorado.
The Snow League sees its arrival as a new chapter, introducing a global sports and entertainment event at a time of continued evolution for the community.
Park City is at the center of one of the largest winter sports audiences in North America, within a short drive of more than 2.5 million people and offering easy accessibility for visitors from around the world via the Salt Lake City International Airport.
