Anticipation is running high among fans worldwide as they eagerly await the ground-breaking debut of The Snow League, the first professional league dedicated to snowboarding and freeskiing, from Buttermilk at Aspen Snowmass on March 7-8.
This thrilling new halfpipe competition, created by snowboarding icon and three-time Olympic gold medalist Shaun White, aims to elevate the next generation of athletes while captivating a fresh audience of winter sports enthusiasts.
The fields feature 2022 Olympic gold medalist Ayumu Hirano of Japan, as well as two-time U.S. Olympian Maddie Mastro. Throughout the season, both male and female competitors will earn points based on their performances at each event. These scores will be combined at the season's end to determine the Snow League world champions.
Following the thrilling opener in Aspen, the Snow League will make its way to Secret Garden in the People's Republic of China, where 16 elite freeski halfpipe athletes will go head-to-head in December 2025.
After a brief hiatus for the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics, the action will return to Aspen for a third showdown in February 2026 before culminating in a season finale at the renowned LAAX halfpipe in Switzerland in March.
What is The Snow League?
After stepping away from competitive snowboarding, Shaun White launched The Snow League—the first-ever professional snowboarding league—offering elite riders a platform to compete for significant prize money.
The series will feature four marquee events spanning 2025 and 2026, with a total prize fund of $1.6 million. Athletes will earn points based on their performance at each event, with the ultimate goal of crowning The Snow League World Champion at the season’s conclusion. Additionally, results will contribute to the World Snowboard Points List, which plays a key role in determining selections for the 2026 Olympic teams.
