An American mogul freestyle skier takes a run on Deer Valley's Champion course at the 2022 Intermountain Healthcare Freestyle World Cup in January.

Starting Friday and running through the weekend, Deer Valley will host the U.S. freestyle mogul championships.

The 2022 Toyota U.S. Freestyle Championships were originally planned to take place at Palisades Tahoe in California. Because the resort didn’t have enough snow for the event, organizers changed the location to Deer Valley.

The public is invited to attend. Deer Valley spokesperson Emily Summers says they’ll have access to a viewing area with a walkway from the base area.

Competition begins Friday at 1:35 p.m. with the women’s moguls qualifications and continues Saturday with men’s qualifications at 11:25. Men’s and women’s finals begin at 2:20.

Men’s and women’s dual moguls events begin Sunday morning at 10:45 and wrap up in the afternoon with finals starting at 1:25.

The competitions will take place on Deer Valley’s Champion run, where Intermountain Healthcare Freestyle World Cup events were held in January.

Local athletes competing include Deer Valley’s own Brad Wilson, a three-time Olympian who has said he’ll retire after this season. Olympic silver medalist Jaelin Kauf is also expected to compete.
