Land Rover U.S. Grand Prix at Mammoth Mountain Postponed
U.S. Ski & Snowboard announced on Dec. 23, 2020 that the 2021 Land Rover U.S. Grand Prix FIS Freeski and Snowboard World Cup at Mammoth Mountain Ski Area, Calif., originally scheduled for Feb. 3-6 has been postponed.
The International Ski Federation (FIS), U.S. Ski & Snowboard, and Mammoth Mountain are working closely together to reschedule the events and will follow up with more information as it becomes available.
“We have worked closely with Tiger Shaw and U.S. Ski & Snowboard and agree that we must continue to prioritize the health and wellbeing of our employees, athletes, guests, and community,” said Mark Brownlie, President and COO of Mammoth Resorts. “With that in mind, the decision was made to postpone the event to a later date. We look forward to continuing our longstanding relationship and commitment to athletics at Mammoth Mountain and will explore all opportunities to reschedule this season.”
Specific event information will be forthcoming as the local organizing committee works through its detailed protocols with local and state health officials. The U.S. Grand Prix is contingent on local and state health department approvals based on existing and future COVID-19 rules and regulations. FIS, U.S. Ski & Snowboard, the local organizing committee, and Mammoth Mountain are taking a unified approach consistent with guidance from federal, state, and local health authorities.
