WATERVILLE VALLEY, New Hampshire — Park City native Nick Page, who grew up skiing at Deer Valley Resort, has officially secured his place on the U.S. Olympic moguls team, qualifying for his second Olympic Games.

Page clinched the spot at the final FIS World Cup event before the 2026 Olympic Winter Games in Milano Cortina. Originally scheduled to take place at Deer Valley, the competition was relocated to Waterville Valley after a lack of early-season snow across much of the western United States made hosting impossible. Stepping in on short notice, the New Hampshire resort successfully delivered a World Cup–caliber event despite challenging weather and course conditions.

The men’s competition opened with qualifying runs, where Page advanced alongside Asher Michel, Landon Wendler and Charlie Mickel. Mickel and Page delivered strong performances to advance into the super final. Page ultimately finished fifth overall with Mickel sixth.

“I knew I was in a good position, but our team is so strong, you never know what could happen,” Page said to U.S. Ski & Snowboard. “I had to come in today, really put my foot on the gas, put a stamp on it and make this team. To finish it out this way was pretty special.”

For the women, Liz Lemley and Olivia Giaccio finished in second and third places at the Intermountain Health Freestyle Cup at Waterville Valley, stepping on the podium in front of friends and family.

Following the competition, U.S. Ski & Snowboard Freestyle Sport Director Matt Gnoza announced the latest athletes selected to the 2026 U.S. Olympic Team. Page was officially named to the roster alongside Tess Johnson — a Salt Lake City resident studying at Harvard’s Extension School — and Lemley. Page and Johnson will both compete in their second Olympic Games, while Lemley earned her first Olympic berth.

2022 Olympic silver medalist Jaelin Kauf had previously secured her spot earlier in the season and was also formally recognized at the event.

On the women’s side, Kylie Kariotis, Alli Macuga, Kauf, Johnson, Kasey Hogg, Giaccio and Lemley all pushed through to the next round. The women’s competition saw Hogg, Giaccio, and Lemley rise to the occasion in the super final.

After persistent fog forced the cancelation of Thursday’s individual moguls event, organizers pivoted quickly, converting Friday’s originally planned dual moguls competition into individual moguls. The weather made an equally dramatic turn overnight, dropping from rainy, 35-degree conditions on Thursday to frigid, single-digit temperatures on Friday, accompanied by whipping winds and chalky, hard snow on the course.
