The season is coming and ski and snowboard fans worldwide are excited to cheer on their favorite athletes as they compete in the 2022-23 season. But between all ski and snowboard sports, there are dozens of World Cup races, and watching on television or streaming is a little complicated. We’re here to simplify the process so all you have to do is cheer.

There are three main ways to watch U.S. Ski & Snowboard athletes compete all over the world; through Outside+, NBC/Peacock and through skiandsnowboard.live. 
 

How to Watch DOMESTIC U.S. World Cups: Outside+ and NBC platforms

STREAMING: Outside+

Through a new partnership, Outside+ is the new streaming broadcaster of our domestic World Cups with over 90 hours of competition at your fingertips. Now, you can watch all FIS World Cups (alpine, cross country, freestyle, snowboard, and freeski) held in the United States LIVE through the Outside platforms.

NBC platforms will also broadcast all eight domestic FIS World Cups for the 2022-23 season. NBC will present 19 hours of coverage for the domestic World Cup event’s across their multiple platforms, including live and tape-delayed coverage on NBC, CNBC and simulcasted on Peacock. 

Step 1: If you don’t have access to broadcast television, download PeacockTV

BOULDER, Colorado OR PARK CITY, Utah (October 17, 2022) – In a move that links America’s snowsports governing body and the country’s largest creator of outdoor recreation media and services, U.S. Ski & Snowboard and Outside Interactive, Inc., today announced a longterm strategic partnership to create and broadcast snowsports content. For the first time, FIS World Cup alpine, cross country, freestyle, snowboard, and freeski events held in the United States will be available to stream on all Outside platforms, including OutsideOnline.com, SkiMag.com, the Outside App, and Outside Watch. The partnership will also launch a bundled Outside+ and U.S. Ski & Snowboard consumer membership, as well as business partnerships in competition registration, photography services, Web3 innovation, and sponsorship sales.

As part of the partnership, Outside becomes the streaming broadcaster of domestic U.S. World Cups, with more than 90 hours of competition in the 2022-23 season. The season’s eight alpine, freestyle, snowboard, and freeski domestic FIS World Cup events include the Killington Cup, Xfinity Birds of Prey at Beaver Creek, Aspen World Cup, Palisades Tahoe World Cup, Freestyle International at Deer Valley, the Toyota U.S. Grand Prix at Mammoth and Copper, and the Visa Big Air at Copper. The coverage will also feature never-before-televised snowboard and freeski qualifiers at the Toyota U.S. Grand Prix and Visa Big Air. In addition to these events, Outside will air new and archival non-event programming. 

“We are delighted about this new partnership with Outside,” said Sophie Goldschmidt, U.S. Ski & Snowboard President and CEO. “It enables the passionate fans of skiing and snowboarding in the United States to watch our major domestic events and to combine the U.S. Ski & Snowboard and Outside communities in an innovative multi-platform partnership. We have the most FIS World Cups on U.S. soil in history this winter, and we are proud to showcase those incredible events with Outside to inspire new and seasoned ski and snowboard fans. Outside is more than a distribution partner with incredible channels and scale; what really attracted us was the opportunity to build a strategic alliance to allow our community to more deeply engage with our athletes, content and other new offerings.”

“First and foremost, we’re honored to support the Olympic movement and help U.S. Ski & Snowboard nurture the next generation of American medal hopefuls,” said Robin Thurston, CEO of Outside. “Nothing could be more inspiring for a young skier than to watch champions come up through the ranks, dominate and take gold with the national anthem playing. This partnership will bring those special moments to more eyeballs, along with hundreds of hours of exciting video content from Outside Watch, Warren Miller and our brand partners. With U.S. Ski & Snowboard, we’re creating a one-stop resource where skiers and snowboarders will find motivation along with the world’s richest archive of gear, travel, and instructional content.”

The partnership will also lead to the creation of a unique membership bundle for U.S. Ski & Snowboard members, one that provides access to Outside+ premium content, educational videos, SKI Magazine content, GPS mapping services, outdoor industry gear discounts and NASTAR, the largest public grassroots ski racing program in the world.

In addition to airing races, Outside will have access to an extensive archive of ski and snowboard footage, as well as the opportunity to produce original content franchises with the team’s athletes, coaches and other experts. U.S. Ski & Snowboard will also utilize Outside’s expertise in competition software and Web3 to develop innovative services for its membership and fans of the sports.

PARK CITY, UTAH (October 10, 2022) – U.S. Ski & Snowboard confirms a two-year deal with resorts in Sun Valley, Idaho, and Waterville Valley, New Hampshire to host the Toyota U.S. Alpine National Championships and the Toyota U.S. Freestyle National Championships through the 2024 season. 

“Sun Valley and Waterville have a proven track record of hosting competitions and we could not be more excited to have them on board for the next two years,” says Eric Webster, Director of Events at U.S. Ski & Snowboard. “U.S. Ski & Snowboard is excited to support the organizing committees and look forward to cheering on the athletes, many of whom are currently on the U.S. Ski & Snowboard Team rosters.”

Each year, the Toyota U.S. National Championships bring top athletes from each division and a handful of international racers to storied national venues. Both locations have experienced organizing committees and involved ski clubs that have put on large-scale events in the past, including NorAm Championships, World Cups, Junior Nationals and other notable winter competitions.   

Alpine Nationals in the West 

From April 2-5, Sun Valley Resort will host the 2023 Toyota U.S. Alpine Championships with both men and women competing in slalom, giant slalom and super-G events. The course in Sun Valley has a storied history of alpine racing, along with technical and challenging terrain, and will feature local U.S. Alpine Ski Team athletes such as Ryder Sarchett, Jack Smith and Dasha Romanov.

“As the first destination ski resort in North America, we are proud to be a location where history and memories are made. We last hosted the U.S. Alpine Championships in 2018, and we are looking forward to welcoming back athletes to our beautiful community, where people have come to enjoy the incredible terrain and experience since 1936," said Sun Valley Resort Director of Marketing & PR Bridget Higgins. "Sun Valley's history is steeped in unifying competition and team camaraderie, and we're looking forward to seeing friendly and healthy competition foster incredible performances. We are so proud that three Sun Valley Ski Education Foundation members are on the team.”

Freestyle Champs in the East 

Freestyle skiing lies at the heart of the Waterville Valley and the community of Mount Tecumseh is excited to welcome back world-class freestyle athletes to the “Birthplace of Freestyle Skiing.” Waterville Valley has hosted several competitions in years past and many legendary freestyle skiers have competed on this mountain, namely Wayne Wong, Doug Pfeiffer, Nick Preston and 2x Olympic medalist Hannah Kearney. 

“Waterville Valley is home to a thriving community of young athletes, from the BBTS Snowsports Club to the Waterville Valley Academy,” says Sarah Van Kralingen, Marketing and Communications Manager at Waterville Valley Resort. “We hope events like this will inspire and influence aspiring young athletes, demonstrating the phenomenal skill, athleticism and sportsmanship involved in freestyle skiing.” 

The moguls and dual moguls events will take place at Waterville Valley Resort on locals’ favorite Lower Bobby’s Run—a steep and technical track perfectly positioned for spectators at the base.

The full schedule of races will be available closer to the event.

St. Louis, Missouri may not be your typical ski town but it is filled with a community that continues to cheer on and support our athletes, year after year. At the 6th Annual St. Louis Aprés Ski Party, Olympic Champion Mikaela Shiffrin and 400 stead-fast St. Louis fans dressed in this year’s theme of denim and ice and raised $800,000 for U.S. Ski & Snowboard.

Ron Kruszewski, who serves as Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of Stifel Financial Corporation generously hosted the event at his home and stood with Mikaela at the doors of ‘Mikaela’s Saloon’ while greeting every supporter as they arrived.

As Mikaela shared on her personal Instagram profile, this fundraiser is very important to her and a tradition to kick off the season, “St. Louis, you have outdone yourselves. Some of the best sports fans in the world and I’m so happy to have connected with you all again before the season officially starts. On behalf of the entire U.S. Ski & Snowboard Team, we can’t thank you enough for your support. It’s because of all of you that we’re able to do what we love.”

Through generous donations from Stifel and attendees, silent auctions featuring U.S. Ski Team and Olympic gear, local art and more, all funds collected from the evening directly benefit the athletes of all U.S. Ski & Snowboard teams. To all in attendance, both in person and those who supported from afar, your generosity and support offer the 180 athletes of the national U.S. Ski & Snowboard team the encouragement and funds they need to compete on the world’s biggest stage this winter. We could not be more grateful for the support from the St. Louis community. When you see an American flag on the podium this winter, know you played a part in making it happen. Thank you for being part of the team behind the Team.

QUOTES

Aspen World Cup - Aspen Snowmass, Colorado
John Rigney, Senior Vice President, Aspen Snowmass Ski Resort
"It’s thrilling to see World Cup racing back in Aspen. Our community’s alpine heritage and love of skiing runs deep and everyone pitches in to support events that bring the best in the world to Aspen. Having the men on our iconic America’s Downhill track will be incredible. World Cup Finals in 2017 was amazing, but we haven’t seen this level of racing on that course in years. The energy, the excitement, the crowds lining the course, and the speed—I believe people will be blown away by what they see on one of the world’s most exciting downhill venues."

Xfinity Birds of Prey - Beaver Creek Resort, Colorado
Nadia Guerriero, Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, Beaver Creek Resort
"We are so excited to host the Birds of Prey World Cup again this season at Beaver Creek. As a favorite course of U.S. racers and coaches, we are counting down the days until we welcome the world to our incredible steep terrain, intimate alpine village and exceptional guest service.”

Ross Leonhart, Marketing and Multi-Media Manager, Vail Valley Foundation
“As a staple on the World Cup circuit since 1997, we are excited to see more ski racing on American soil this year. We know there is an appetite for ski racing in the United States and can’t wait to see more of it. The annual Birds of Prey races in Beaver Creek have become known as the kickoff to winter in North America and a celebration of exciting speed events. There’s nothing quite like World Cup ski racing and the atmosphere that comes along with it, especially here in the United States.”

"As Copper embarks on its 50th anniversary season, we are thrilled to honor our longstanding partnership with U.S. Ski & Snowboard and welcome the return of the Toyota U.S. Grand Prix, and the Visa Big Air presented by Toyota event. Hosting elite-level competitions is in Copper’s DNA and there’s truly no better way to celebrate this monumental season than to unite some of the most passionate athletes and fans in the sport at these world-class events. We look forward to another great year ahead."

Killington Cup - Killington Ski Resort, Vermont
Mike Solimano, President & General Manager, Killington Resort and Pico Mountain
“It is truly an honor to welcome the World Cup each year to Killington. Watching world-class athletes racing down Superstar, encouraged by such a passionate crowd, is an unmatched experience. The Killington Cup is about the community as much as the competition and in the past, the number of fans in attendance has broken records. We're excited to return this year with Friday night festivities like the bib draw and fireworks and the new K-1 Lodge to welcome them all. I personally can't wait to see if Mikaela Shiffrin will be able to hold on to her title for the sixth time or if a new face will claim the crown."

This year, the resort is hosting a men’s event for the first time since 1969. The event will be held on the same trail used in 2017 for the women’s alpine cup races; the course was described as one of the toughest venues on the women’s circuit. Palisades Tahoe is honored to host a world cup event and eagerly awaits the positive energy brought to the community by a World Cup event.” 

Intermountain Healthcare Freestyle International Ski World Cup - Deer Valley, Utah
Susie English, Vice President of Marketing, Deer Valley Resort

U.S. Ski & Snowboard Partners With GMTM For Future Athlete Identification and gives young athletes around the country an opportunity to try out for the U.S. Aerials Ski Team team virtually. 

Have you watched the Olympic Winter Games and thought, ‘I want to do that’? Now you have the opportunity. U.S. Ski & Snowboard has partnered with GMTM to recruit young athletes and Olympic hopefuls to gain attention from Olympic coaches in aerials skiing through the U.S. Aerials Ski Team Pipeline: Digital Combine. 

Aerials skiing became an Olympic sport at the 1994 Games and consists of a skier performing flips and spins off a jump and landing on an inclined hill. Aerialists’ scores are based on their jumps, air time, form, landing and degree of difficulty of the jump performed. 

Aerials skiers come from various backgrounds, including gymnastics, diving, trampolining, BMX biking and more. And the U.S. Ski & Snowboard Team is looking to recruit athletes to join the pipeline for the Olympic Winter Games. 

Through U.S. Ski & Snowboard on GMTM, athletes can participate in activities hosted by Team USA scouts and coaches to gain exposure and be seen by the best in the sport. Through questionnaires, video uploads and messaging to connect athletes to coaches, young skiers will be one step closer to competing for the nation's national team. 

U.S. Ski & Snowboard is the United States’ National Governing Body (NGB) for skiing and snowboarding and hosts national and international competitions while helping athletes compete. U.S. Ski & Snowboard is also responsible for nominating athletes to Team USA—the nation's team for the Olympic Games.

The U.S Aerials Ski Team Pipeline: Digital Combine offers experienced skiers and new athletes from other sports backgrounds a step-by-step process to begin participating in the sport. Through the event page, five unique activities allow participants to showcase a variety of talents from different disciplines. Those activities include:

1. Athlete Background - Build your ATHLETE profile and share what interests you about the U.S. Aerials Ski Team.

2. Highlight Reel - Upload a highlight reel or a video of your highest sporting achievement.

3. Standing Backflip - Upload a video of your standing backflip, aerial training or trampoline work so that our team can review your submission.

4. 40-Yard Dash - Upload your 40-yard dash time below and a video recording of your sprint so our team can review your submission.

5. Vertical Jump - Upload your vertical jump measurement below and a video recording of your jump so our team can review your submission.

The partnership between GMTM and U.S. Ski & Snowboard allows youth skiers to interact in real-time and build a profile that organizes accomplishments, metrics and content, which is visible to coaches.

If you are a skier or an athlete from another sport hoping to find an opportunity with U.S. Ski & Snowboard, create a profile now and stay tuned for new events coming to GMTM.
