“With the resounding success of Mikaela Shiffrin and her record-breaking campaign last season, we are thrilled to present the Stifel Snow Show and continue to highlight winter sports on our platforms,” said Molly Solomon, Executive Producer & President of NBC Olympics Production. “The weekly nature of this show will cater to diehard skiing and snowboarding fans as well as open the door to a new U.S. audience that we hope to grow leading up to Milan-Cortina 2026.”

“We are delighted to have the opportunity to showcase our sports to a broader audience through the Stifel Snow Show,” said Guy Slattery, Chief Marketing Officer at U.S. Ski & Snowboard. “One of our main goals is to continually grow the visibility of our sports, and through this show, we will have the opportunity to appeal to new audiences and tell the stories of our athletes at an entirely new level.” 

"Supporting a show dedicated to competitive skiing and snowboarding is not just about celebrating the thrill of the slopes, it's about championing the unwavering commitment to success that resonates with our core values at Stifel,” said Ron Kruszewski, Chairman and CEO of Stifel Financial Corp. “Together, we aim to showcase these incredible athletes on CNBC.”

2024 Youth Olympic Games Roster Nominated

U.S. Ski & Snowboard formally nominated the Youth Olympic Winter Games (YOG) cross country, freestyle, snowboard and freeski teams, slated to compete from Jan. 19 - Feb. 1, 2024, in Gangwon Province, South Korea. Nominations include athletes aged 15 to 18, who qualified based on selection criteria

The 2024 Youth Olympic Games, held every four years, will host more than 1,900 athletes from more than 80 National Olympic Committees to the home of the 2018 Olympic Winter Games in PyeongChang. Historically, the Youth Olympic Games was created by the former president of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) Jacques Rogge with a mission to bring together the world’s best young athletes and educate and inspire the next generation of Olympians.

At the 2020 Youth Olympic Games in Lausanne, Switzerland, 96 athletes across 16 sports represented the United States. The games helped catapult the careers of many national team athletes. Hydro Flask U.S. Snowboard Team athlete Dusty Henricksen took home gold in slopestyle in 2020 and since then has won two gold medals at X Games, podiumed at four World Cups and took home the overall 2022-23 FIS snowboard Crystal Globe, cementing himself as the best slopestyle rider in the world. Similarly, Stifel U.S. Freeski Team athletes Hanna Faulhaber and Hunter Henderson both won bronze medals in halfpipe and slopestyle at the Youth Olympic Games. After her bronze, Faulhaber skied to an impressive sixth place at the Olympic Winter Games in Beijing and last season won a World Championships gold medal in women’s halfpipe. 

“We’re so excited for the amazing group of athletes set to represent the U.S. in Gangwon,” said Anouk Patty, U.S. Ski & Snowboard Chief of Sport. “The Youth Olympic Games is an opportunity for athletes to travel to new places and meet new communities while practicing their skills and competing on an international stage.”

New to the 2024 program will include a cross country 4.5k mixed-gender relay, while freestyle will debut both dual moguls and team dual moguls. Both freeski and snowboard will have slopestyle, big air and halfpipe by gender. And the cross events will feature an individual race and mixed-gender event for ski cross and snowboard cross. 

13 out of the 30 cross country, freestyle, snowboard and freeski athletes that will represent the U.S. are currently on the national team.

Alpine athletes representing the U.S. at the YOG will be announced at a later date.

Watching World Cups is complicated and we know it. Broadcast rights to FIS events are not centralized, which means that every country has the right to sell their World Cup broadcast—and it can be confusing to even the most devout ski and snowboard fan. This article is designed to walk you through where to watch each and every weekend all season long.

Similar to last year, there are THREE main ways to watch U.S. Ski & Snowboard athletes compete all around the world: Outside, NBC/CNBC/Peacock and skiandsnowboard.live. (For clarification: skiandsnowboard.live is a site run and controlled by InFront and is not affiliated with U.S. Ski & Snowboard.)

Please keep an eye on our WATCH tab, where we will keep you updated with where and when to watch each event, as well as our social channels, where we’ll release each weekend’s schedules on Tuesdays.

 

DOMESTIC EVENTS: Outside, NBC/CNBC/Peacock 

All events held in the United States are LIVE on Outside for free this season, with coverage also on NBC/CNBC and Peacock. Outside+ (paid) will have all domestic events on demand.

 

INTERNATIONAL EVENTS (not Austria): skiandsnowboard.live

skiandsnowboard.live will have all international World Cups live and on-demand on their website and TV apps. 

 

AUSTRIA EVENTS: NBC/Peacock

NBC and Peacock will have events in Austria live on Peacock, as well as some tape delay coverage on NBC.  

 

PRICE STRUCTURE:

Outside: free (domestic live events) OR $59/year (on-demand events from Europe and the U.S.)

NBC/CNBC: free with cable (domestic events, some Austria events)

skiandsnowboard.live: all-access – $15.00/monthly, $69.99/yearly // discipline passes – $8.99/monthly (live and on-demand events from Europe)
