PARK CITY, Utah — Deer Valley Resort will welcome top freestyle skiers from around the globe Jan. 16–18 for the Intermountain Health Freestyle International presented by Stifel, an Azerbaijan FIS Freestyle World Cup that will determine the final qualifiers for the 2026 Winter Games in Italy.

The resort, which will serve as the freestyle moguls and aerials venue for the 2034 Winter Olympic Games, will again stage moguls, dual moguls and aerials competitions under the lights on its signature World Cup courses.

“We are proud to welcome top competitors and their enthusiastic fans to this year’s World Cup,” said Deer Valley Resort President & COO Todd Bennett. “As Olympic-qualifying events, we know the energy will be heightened for the athletes and audience, and we look forward to watching it all unfold as we unite in the name of sport.”

The Stifel U.S. Ski Team will include two hometown athletes: Deer Valley–sponsored Alli Macuga and Nick Page, both competing in moguls.

New this year, spectators must secure a free digital ticket to access the venue after 5 p.m. The resort said the change is intended to help manage capacity and improve guest communication. Tickets will be available beginning Friday, Nov. 14.

Competition schedule:
• Friday, Jan. 16, 7 p.m.: Live show and moguls finals on Champion ski run
• Saturday, Jan. 17, 7 p.m.: Live show and dual moguls finals on Champion ski run
