With the first two stops of the Big Air World Cup season in Cardrona (New Zealand) and Modena (Italy) behind us, it’s time to have a look at the following stops. After the Dusseldorf (Germany) stop was cancelled, there are now only two remaining Big Air World Cup contests to stay tuned for!
The first one will go down in Beijing (China) on December 14th. “This season marks the third time in a row that FIS Snowboard will work in conjunction with one of the longest running and most respected names in snowboard competition history, as we once again partner with Air+Style for the Beijing big air World Cup.” states the FIS editorial office. This season’s event is special as the contest will go down on the permanent big air jump which was just completed in west Beijing at the Shougang Industrial Park – a venue that is set to be the site of the big air competition at the Beijing 2022 Olympic Winter Games. We do encourage you not to miss this one!

The second and last one will take place in Atlanta (USA) on December 20th. After a few years break, this year again the snowsports world is on the look out for a US competition, as the FIS Snowboard and Freeski Atlanta Visa big air World Cup is set to take over SunTrust Park in December. A massive 50 metre tall big air jump will take over the outfield at the home of Major League Baseball’s Atlanta Braves, where the world’s very best will most likely push their limits. Do not miss this one as well!

The Dusseldorf (Germany) stop was scheduled for early January, but was cancelled due to an unforeseen scheduling conflict at the venue.
Livestream:
All World Cup events will be live streamed on the FIS Snowboard YouTube channel this season.
Available for free viewing in all nations where a national broadcaster does not hold exclusive rights to the event, the new live streaming agreement with broadcast rights holder InFront Sports and Media is an important and exciting one for our sports moving forward, and we look forward to growing engagement and viewership over the season as awareness spreads.
