The Deer Valley freestyle World Cup has been canceled due to a significant lack of snow in the area. Organizers from the resort and the U.S. Ski Team announced the decision on Tuesday, the same day that the deadline for relocating the competitions to other sites passed. As a result, the events are being moved to the East Coast. This year was set to mark the 28th occasion Deer Valley has hosted this prestigious ski competition, which is renowned for its large crowds and challenging moguls course on the Champion run. To ensure athletes still have opportunities for Olympic qualification, aerial competitions will now take place at the Lake Placid World Cup, replacing a previously scheduled mixed team aerials competition with an individual aerials event. The moguls competitions will be shifted to Waterville Valley in New Hampshire, which has experienced better snow conditions this winter. Sophie Goldschmidt, President and CEO of U.S. Ski and Snowboard, expressed gratitude to Lake Placid and Waterville Valley for their quick response in accommodating the changes. She emphasized the importance of Deer Valley as a key partner in the ski community and noted that the World Cup event will return next season, likely in early February. Deer Valley President and COO Todd Bennett explained that warm temperatures and a compressed schedule led to the difficult decision to cancel this year's event. He mentioned that building the venues to the required standards would not be feasible given the current weather conditions. Despite the disappointment among athletes regarding the cancellation, the relocation of competitions has been welcomed. Skiers will continue their training in Park City and will compete in upcoming events in Canada before heading to the new venues. This marks the first time Deer Valley has had to cancel the World Cup, an event that has been a vital part of the resort's identity for nearly 30 years. The resort looks forward to hosting the event again in the future, maintaining its commitment to supporting winter sports and athletes.
