Deer Valley Resort welcomes the world’s best aerial and mogul skiers to its slopes January 10-12, 2018 for the 2018 Visa Freestyle International. The competitions will serve as U.S. selection events for the 2018 Olympic Winter Games in PyeongChang, South Korea, February 9-26, 2018. This year also marks 20 years that Deer Valley Resort has played host to international and world competitions, including the 2002 Winter Olympic Games, two World Championships and 16 World Cups.

“Held at night under the lights, this spectator-friendly competition is a unique display of skill and athleticism,” said Bob Wheaton, president and chief operating officer of Deer Valley Resort. “This year’s World Cup also serves as a great warm up for Deer Valley hosting the 2019 FIS Freestyle World Championships in conjunction with Park City Mountain and Solitude Mountain Resort.”

Visiting guests of the World Cup will watch as competitors twist, fly and race their way to the podium on the same runs used during the 2002 Olympic Winter Games.
