The two-day competition will feature men’s and women’s individual events and a mixed team event under the lights. Renowned as a captivating spectator sport, freestyle aerials showcases world class athletes launching high into the night sky to perform acrobatic twists, turns and flips before landing in a confined outrun area lined with hordes of cheering fans.

The level of difficulty increases as the field narrows into a final group of six who compete for podium positions and additional World Cup points. In Sunday’s mixed team event, three jumpers — at least one of each gender — represent their nations in pursuit of the top prize. Team USA, the defending Olympic champion in the mixed event, is among the favorites in Lake Placid.

Lake Placid, a regular stop on the FIS Aerials World Cup circuit between 1985 and 2019, is the opening event on the 2024-25 FIS Aerials World Cup calendar.

The gates will open to ticketed guests at 5 p.m. each day as the competition begin at 7 p.m. The Olympic Jumping Complex will be open for regular operations from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. prior to the start of the World Cup competitions.
