2024 U.S. Freestyle Ultimate Airwave On Deck

Next Saturday, Aug. 24, Utah Olympic Park will welcome many of the best aerials skiers in the world for the 2024 U.S. Freestyle Ultimate Airwave event. 

The competition will take place at the UOP water ramps, where freestyle athletes learn to progress their skills in the warmer months to prepare for on-snow training. 

The free event, running from 12 pm-5 pm on Aug. 24, will feature the majority of the Stifel U.S. Freestyle Ski Team aerials athletes, along with the best in the world from Argentina, Australia, Switzerland and Canada. Olympic gold medalists Ashley Caldwell, Chris Lillis and Justin Schoenefeld are slated to compete. Lillis enters the competition as the reigning champion from last year's inaugural event. 

Qualification begins at 12 p.m., and the top 12 finishers for men and women will advance to the finals, which are set to begin at 4:05 p.m. 

Following the FIS Grand Prix event will be the Flying Ace Allstars show on the water ramps - a unique opportunity to watch the U.S. athletes showcase world-class tricks to the public. Come to the U.S. Freestyle Ultimate Airwave competition and stay for the Flying Ace Allstars!

Tickets are required to attend the Flying Ace show. More information on the U.S. Freestyle Ultimate Airwave competition and the Flying Ace show can be found on FIS and the UOP.
