World Cup Glory Beckons: Toyota U.S. Grand Prix Takes Center Stage
With the Milan-Cortina 2026 Olympic Winter Games on the horizon, every competition carries extra weight, and the Toyota U.S. Grand Prix stands as a pivotal proving ground for athletes aiming to represent the United States. The series kicks off with the roar of the halfpipe at Copper Mountain, Colorado, from December 18th to 21st, 2024. The resort’s famed 22-foot superpipe will provide a spectacular backdrop as riders launch skyward, pushing the limits of creativity and technical mastery. Adding to the excitement, Copper Mountain will simultaneously host a brand-new X Games event that same weekend, promising an unforgettable display of skill and adrenaline.
Aspen Snowmass, Colorado, takes the baton from January 27th to February 2nd, 2025, welcoming the world’s elite for the second leg of the Toyota U.S. Grand Prix. Following hot on the heels of the Winter X Games Aspen (January 23rd-25th), the competition heats up on Buttermilk Mountain with World Cup-level halfpipe and slopestyle events. But the action doesn’t stop there. From February 3rd to 6th, the Visa Big Air competition takes over, transforming the Aspen sky into a gravity-defying showcase as riders launch themselves off massive jumps, attempting to land never-before-seen tricks.
This year, the stakes are even higher thanks to a groundbreaking partnership between X Games and U.S. Ski & Snowboard. The victors of the Toyota U.S. Grand Prix at Copper Mountain will earn coveted invitations to the Winter X Games Aspen 2025, further solidifying the pathway for athletes to ascend to the pinnacle of their sports.
U.S. Revolution Tour: Where Future Stars Shine Bright
The journey from aspiring athlete to Olympic hopeful is paved with dedication and countless hours of practice. The U.S. Revolution Tour (Rev Tour) serves as a vital stepping stone for those making the leap from grassroots competitions to the elite level. This season, three stops will test the mettle of freeski and snowboard athletes across halfpipe, slopestyle, and big air disciplines.
The action begins at Copper Mountain from January 11th to 15th, 2025, before moving to Aspen Snowmass from February 8th to 12th. The Rev Tour culminates at Mammoth Mountain, California, from March 16th to 21st, providing a fitting finale to a season filled with progression and breakthrough performances.
The Rev Tour isn’t just about competition; it’s about fostering the next generation of talent. In a testament to its significance, the male and female freeski and snowboard athletes who conquer the overall Rev Tour titles in slopestyle or halfpipe will be rewarded with invitations to the 2026 Winter X Games, etching their names into the history books and igniting their dreams on a global stage.
