NBC Sports has renewed its partnership with the Snow League for its second year, committing to broadcast the league's four events. The season commences on September 19th in New Zealand and will also feature a new event in Park City, Utah, the future host of the 2034 Olympics. The league, established by Shaun White, features snowboarders and skiers competing for a season-long title.
In the inaugural year, the league awarded $2.2 million to the top performers. Eileen Gu (freeskiing) and Luke Harrold (snowboarding) were the champions in their respective categories. The opening event, a team competition with a drafting system, will take place in New Zealand and its outcome won't affect the season-long standings.
Seeding for this tournament will be based on a separate contest where teams aim to create the best behind-the-scenes content leading up to the competition.
