# Season Two at a glance The 2026–2027 schedule introduces the Snow League World Challenge and keeps three regular-season events across North America and Europe. Dates and locations listed by the league are:
- Snow League World Challenge, Cardrona Alpine Resort, New Zealand | September 18–20, 2026
- Event One, Buttermilk at Aspen Snowmass, CO, USA | January 7–9, 2027
- Event Two, Park City Mountain, UT, USA | January 21–23, 2027
- Event Three, LAAX, Switzerland | March 11–13, 2027
The season opener in Cardrona will be a team event featuring a draft. That team event will not count toward season-long standings. Instead, seeding for the tournament will be determined by a separate competition where teams produce behind-the-scenes content leading up to the event.
The Snow League mixed snowboarders and freeskiers in a season-long competition for points plus individual event championships. Season One champions named by the league include snowboarders Sena Tomita and Yuto Totsuka, and freeskiers Eileen Gu and Luke Harrold. The league awarded $2.2 million in prize money during its opening season.
# Venue notes Park City Mountain, which will host the league in January 2027, is noted in the coverage as the future host of the 2034 Winter Olympics. The article notes Park City hasn't had a 22-foot halfpipe since hosting world championships in 2019, which is relevant to halfpipe scale and athlete preparation.
# What to expect on screen NBC Sports will air encore presentations of all Snow League events. Live windows will appear on Peacock and the Snow League's YouTube channel, expanding options for viewers who followed Season One and for new audiences.
# Immediate timeline
# Bottom line The renewed NBC Sports partnership keeps the Snow League visible across broadcast and streaming platforms and aligns Season Two around a global opener plus three regular-season stops. The league retains experimental formats — for example, a team draft opener seeded by a content competition — while building on Season One's audience and prize structure.
