Swedish Snowboard Series postponed, kick off event in Hemavan now scheduled for January 30, 2021

Unfortunately, under the current location in the country, we will not be able to implement the premiere of SSS as planned on December 12. We have therefore chosen to move forward the competition to Saturday, January 30, and are really looking forward to starting the competition season then instead! Here you can read more about the Swedish Ski Association's decision to pause the competition activities:

Copper Mountain World Cup Snowboard, Freeski Events Cancelled

The 2020-21 FIS Freeski and Snowboard World Cup events scheduled for Copper Mountain, Colo. Dec. 17-19 have been cancelled given the current, dynamic situation surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic in Colorado.

Copper Mountain’s priority is to provide guests the opportunity to safely enjoy skiing and riding this winter starting Nov. 30. Copper Mountain is focused on working through season readiness, risk mitigation, as well as executing an adaptable plan they can scale based on local and state health regulations.

U.S. Ski & Snowboard is working closely with the International Ski Federation (FIS) and other domestic resort partners to secure replacement venues for the first stop of the Land Rover U.S. Grand Prix as well as the Visa Big Air that were scheduled for Copper Mountain.
