Shaun White's Snow League opening its second season with a team halfpipe event in New Zealand

The series will add a team-based World Challenge in New Zealand and expand to a three-day format for skiers in Season Two.

  • The Snow League announced its Season Two schedule on Wednesday, featuring the inaugural Snow League World Challenge in New Zealand from Sept. 18-20, 2026, followed by regular-season stops in Aspen, Colorado, Park City, Utah, and Laax, Switzerland.
  • Designed to celebrate international competition, the Snow League World Challenge features 16 athletes representing North America, Europe, Asia, and The Challengers, with New Zealand Tourism and Hospitality Minister Louise Upston calling it a 'treat for Kiwis.'
  • Park City, a 2034 Winter Olympics venue, returns to the circuit for the first time since 2019, while Aspen remains a 'cornerstone venue for the league,' said CEO Omer Atesmen.
  • The league expanded to a three-day competition format for Season Two, moving away from the two-day structure used in the inaugural season. Laax will host the finale for the second consecutive year.
  • 'Season One set the foundation,' said founder Shaun White. The league aims to build on momentum by creating new ways for athletes to compete and for fans to engage globally.
