  • Deer Valley Resort will host mogul events as part of the freestyle tour conclusion.

Deer Valley Resort is set to host the Freestyle International presented by Stifel during the 2026-27 FIS World Cup season, according to announcements from U.S. Ski & Snowboard and Deer Valley.

Record-breaking FIS World Cup season

The 2026-27 season will feature a record 13 domestic FIS World Cup events across 10 venues, the highest number in U.S. Ski & Snowboard history, according to a June 17 announcement from the organization. Sophie Goldschmidt, President and CEO of U.S. Ski & Snowboard, said the expanded schedule provides incredible opportunities for athletes to compete on home snow.

Deer Valley hosting mogul events

Deer Valley will serve as the conclusion of the North American freestyle tour, hosting mogul events. The resort's return to the freestyle calendar includes Lake Placid and Waterville Valley as iconic venues for aerials and dual moguls competitions.

Venue changes due to weather

The inclusion of Deer Valley follows a recent decision by the resort to relocate other scheduled World Cup competitions. Deer Valley announced that the Intermountain Health Freestyle International was moved to Lake Placid and Waterville Valley because unseasonably warm temperatures and lower-than-normal snowpack made it difficult to safely build a World Cup-caliber venue.

Cancellation of VIP events

As a result of the venue adjustments, Deer Valley stated that all Freestyle Feast VIP events have been canceled, and guests will receive automatic refunds to their original form of payment.
