Deer Valley to host Freestyle International again in January 2027

Deer Valley is locking in another winter draw for Park City: the Freestyle International returns Jan. 28-30, 2027, with moguls, dual moguls and aerials World Cup competition on the resort’s 2002 Olympic courses. The three-day meet will be free to the public, and VIP packages will go on sale later in 2026, giving local hotels, restaurants and sponsors an early marker for another busy late-January weekend in Summit County.

The 2027 event will be Deer Valley’s 29th year hosting elite international ski competitions, a run that has kept the resort at the center of Park City’s winter identity long after the 2002 Winter Olympics. Deer Valley has already hosted World Championships in 2003, 2011 and 2019, along with 24 World Cups, a record that helps explain why the mountain remains one of the region’s most valuable sports venues. That history matters even more as the county looks toward the 2034 Winter Olympics, when Deer Valley will again host freestyle moguls and aerials.

For Summit County, the return is about more than medals. A World Cup weekend brings athletes, coaches, officials and spectators into the local economy at a time when winter visitation still anchors business from Park City to the resort base areas. The Freestyle International also gives Deer Valley another chance to market itself as a long-term Olympic venue rather than only a ski destination, with the event calendar now tied directly to the larger 2034 Games conversation.

The stop also sits inside a bigger national push. U.S. Ski & Snowboard announced a record 13 domestic FIS World Cup events for the 2026-27 season, and Deer Valley’s freestyle stop is the seventh race in a 10-race circuit and the third U.S. stop, following Lake Placid, New York, and Waterville Valley, New Hampshire. That makes the resort part of a concentrated North American stretch that keeps the United States relevant on the international freestyle calendar.

The return carries added weight because the 2026 Deer Valley freestyle events were moved to Lake Placid and Waterville Valley after unseasonably warm weather created snow concerns. U.S. Ski & Snowboard said Deer Valley remains “one of our most important and cherished partners,” a reminder that the resort’s Olympic-era infrastructure still gives Summit County a major role in global ski sport, even when weather threatens the schedule elsewhere.
