Summary at a Glance

The Snow League announced the remainder of its four-stop, opening-season schedule Monday, which includes a trip in December to the Secret Garden snowpark in Zhangjiakou, China, followed by a return to Aspen in February 2026, then the season finale in Laax, Switzerland, after next year's Milan-Cortina Olympics.

After opening in Aspen, Colorado, next week, Shaun White's new halfpipe league will travel to the mountain in China where he closed out his career at the 2022 Beijing Olympics.

After retiring, he set out to create a league that would bring together the world's top riders, whose sport has long lacked a well-defined circuit and has also struggled to offer top prize money at many of its marquee events.

The Snow League is offering a $1.6 million prize pool, with $370,000 for each event and $160,000 to the league’s champions after all four events.

Freeskiing on the halfpipe will be added to The Snow League starting with the event in China, though no names have yet been publicized for those contests.
