U.S. Ski & Snowboard Announces Toyota U.S. Grand Prix, Rev Tour Schedule for 2024-25 Season
PARK CITY, Utah (Sept. 17, 2024) — U.S. Ski & Snowboard will host three freeski and snowboard domestic World Cups and three NorAm events in the 2024-25 season. The World Cup events include the Toyota U.S. Grand Prix at Copper Mountain and Toyota U.S. Grand Prix and Visa Big Air presented by Toyota at Aspen Snowmass, while the three NorAm-level stops include U.S. Revolution Tour events at Copper Mountain, Aspen Snowmass and Mammoth Mountain.
Toyota U.S. Grand Prix & Visa Big Air
The Toyota U.S. Grand Prix is the longest-running winter action sports tour and plays a significant role in the Olympic qualification process ahead of the Milan-Cortina 2026 Olympic Winter Games, with World Cups in 2024-25 counting towards Hydro Flask U.S. Snowboard Team and Stifel U.S. Freeski Team athletes making Team USA.
The first Toyota U.S. Grand Prix of the season will take place at Copper Mountain on Dec. 18-21, 2024, featuring a halfpipe competition in the resort’s 22-foot superpipe. In conjunction, Copper will also host a new X Games event during the same weekend. More details will be announced soon.
The second stop of the Toyota U.S. Grand Prix will take place at Aspen Snowmass on Jan. 27- Feb. 2, 2025, along with the Visa Big Air Feb. 3-6, 2025, following the Winter X Games Aspen Jan. 23-25, 2025. Having hosted the FIS Snowboard and Freeski World Championships in 2021, Aspen will once again welcome the world’s best freeski and snowboard athletes to compete at World Cup-level halfpipe, slopestyle and big air events at their esteemed venues on Buttermilk Mountain.
Additionally, aligning with the new strategic partnership between X Games and U.S. Ski & Snowboard, the Toyota U.S. Grand Prix winners at Copper Mountain will be invited to Winter X Games Aspen 2025. The next athlete in the results will be invited if the winning athlete has already secured an X Games invite.
“The 2024-25 calendar is set and we are anticipating a great season, with many historically successful events back on the docket, alongside some new and exciting events set to debut,” said Sophie Goldschmidt, President and CEO of U.S. Ski & Snowboard. “With the recent partnership between U.S. Ski & Snowboard and X Games, the world of freeskiing and snowboarding is being further elevated. We are excited to continue moving the needle of what’s possible alongside our amazing resort partners.”
U.S. Revolution Tour
The U.S. Revolution Tour consists of halfpipe, slopestyle and big air events and serves as a stepping stone for athletes transitioning from grassroots to elite competition. The 2024-25 season will feature three Rev Tour stops: Copper Mountain (Jan. 11-15, 2025), Aspen Snowmass (Feb. 8-12, 2025) and Mammoth Mountain (March 16-21, 2025).
The men's and women’s freeski and snowboard athletes who win the overall Rev Tour title in slopestyle or halfpipe will earn an invite to the 2026 Winter X Games.
