Many familiar new-school Olympic faces will be competing this season in the very series that helped them reach the coveted podium set up every four years.

Look for 2014 Olympic champions Maddie Bowman, Kaitlyn Farrington, David Wise, Joss Christensen and Sage Kotsenburg to compete in the three-stop tour that offers more than $400,000 in prize money.

Freeskiers and snowboarders compete in the Grand Prix which stops in Colorado’s Copper Mountain December 3-6, Mammoth Mountain in California’s Eastern Sierra February 4-7, 2015 and Park City, Utah February 25-28, 2015.

The Grand Prix will host FIS World Cup level and Platinum level Association of Freeskiing Professionals events at Copper and Park City, and the Mammoth Mountain’s stop will be part of this year’s TTR World Snowboard Pro Tour.

Also, the Grand Prix incorporates the Visa U.S. Freeskiing Grand Prix with freeskiing events at all three resorts.

“The success of the Grand Prix over 19 years has been based in great part on having the support of key resorts. Copper, Mammoth and Park City are all classic Grand Prix venues that provide domestic training and competition opportunities for U.S. snowboarders and freeskiers,” said Grand Prix tour director Eric Webster. “This support has lead to a tradition of success for U.S. athletes at elite and Olympic levels.”

Also, the Grand Prix incorporates the Visa U.S. Freeskiing Grand Prix with freeskiing events at all three resorts.

For the past four season, Copper has been a staunch early season stop with a standalone halfpipe event for both freeskiing and snowboarding in the resorts Main Vein, a 22-foot halfpipe.

Look for Farrington, Wise and Bowman to compete there, along with three-time Olympian Kelly Clark.

Mammoth is known for it’s Unbound halpipe and slopestyle course. The 1998 and 2014 U.S. Olympic snowboarding teams were announced there.

It’s also a favorite place of Clark, a New England transplant.

“The Grand Prix has hosted some of the most premiere events in snowboarding and I’m looking forward to another great year,” said Clark. “I’m especially excited for the Mammoth Mountain stop —it’s my hometown and being in the middle of the season everyone will be in good form and it should make for a great event.”

Park City is the new kid on the block, a tour stop for the first time. But Park City has quite a legacy. It was the site of the famous 2002 Olympic men’s halfpipe snowboard sweep of Ross Powers, Danny Kass and Jarret Thomas. The halfpipe will be held in the Eagle Superpipe, site of the Olympic Winter Games and the final Olympic qualification event to determine the 2014 Olympic freeskiing team.

Looking ahead, Park City will host the 2019 FIS World Championships in freestyle, freeskiing and snowboarding.

“I’m really stoked for the Grand Prix this season,” said 2014 Olympic slopestyle skiing champion Joss Christensen. “With both slopestyle stops being at Mammoth and Park City I think they’re going to be really good contests. Both resorts have amazing parks so it will be awesome to see how it goes!”

Each tour stop will be sanctioned by both FIS and the TTR World Snowboard Tour for snowboarding and the AF for freeskiing. The World Snowboard Tour and AFP create global rider ranking systems based off the top-level events in snowboarding and freeskiing to crown world champions. Dual sanctioning for both freeskiing and snowboarding creates additional value for the athletes as they accrue points in all needed areas to secure spots at international competitions.

Each stop will be broadcast on NBC, NBCSN and the Universal Sports Network.
