Reigning 2026 Olympic champions Eileen Gu, Yuto Totsuka and Gaon Choi headline an expanded 60-athlete competition field across Aspen, Park City and LAAX, with snowboard and freeski featured at every event

NEW YORK, NY (October 8, 2026) - The Snow League today announced its Season Two roster, featuring all four defending Snow League World Champions and 15 Olympic medalists with a combined 26 Olympic medals, including eight golds.

Founded by three-time Olympic gold medalist Shaun White, the league will bring an expanded 60-athlete competition field to Aspen, Park City and LAAX. The qualified roster represents 12 countries across five continents, with men’s and women’s snowboard and freeski competition at every stop. Reigning Olympic halfpipe champions Eileen Gu (CHN), Yuto Totsuka (JPN) and Gaon Choi (KOR) headline a roster which includes eight of the 12 halfpipe medalists from Milan Cortina 2026. 

In snowboarding, reigning Snow League and Olympic champion Totsuka will continue to battle with fellow Japanese stars, three-time Olympic medalist Ayumu Hirano (JPN) and 2026 Olympic bronze medalist Ryusei Yamada (JPN), for the top spot on the podium. American hopefuls Alessandro Barbieri (USA) and Jake Pates (USA) will be looking to break through the field this season, while Valentino Guseli (AUS) will be adding his massive amplitude to the Snow League halfpipe for the first time, as athletes continue to aim for new world record heights.

Defending women’s snowboard champion Sena Tomita (JPN) returns to face reigning Olympic champion Gaon Choi (KOR), American standout Maddie Mastro (USA), teenager Sara Shimizu (JPN), who won the final two Season One events, and fifteen-year-old rising star Patti Zhou (CHN), who earns her first full-time roster spot after a breakout Season One win at Yunding Snow Park.

All Season Two events will stream live in the U.S. on Peacock and globally on The Snow League’s YouTube Channel, with encore presentations airing on the NBC broadcast network.
