Described as the future of winter sports competition, The Snow League’s reimagined competitive formats will deliver season-long intensity, relentless clutch performances, and jaw-dropping finishes. The inaugural season sees some of the world’s top winter sports athletes push the limit of human potential by going head-to-head in four exhilarating competitions at some of the world’s most iconic resorts, with events leading up to, and immediately following, the Olympic Winter Games Milano Cortina 2026.
The competition kicks off on Buttermilk at Aspen Snowmass, USA on 7 - 8 March, with all the explosive moments, high-stakes risk, and human drama of halfpipe streamed live on Max and discovery+* across Europe as well as a highlights programme on WBD’s premium linear channels.
Fans will be able to watch 36 snowboarding stars battle it out for the chance to be crowned The Snow League World Champion including men’s reigning Olympic halfpipe champion Ayumu Hirano (Japan), men’s reigning half-pipe World Champion Chaeun Lee (South Korea) and Beijing 2022 women’s halfpipe medallists Queralt Castellet (Spain) and Sena Tomita (Japan).
Freeskiing will be introduced at the league's second event in China on 4 - 6 December 2025 and will be featured in all subsequent events.
