Six U.S. Athletes Set to Drop in at Quebec World Cup Big Air

Six U.S. Ski & Snowboard athletes are headed to the 20th edition of the FIS World Cup Jamboree in Quebec City’s St-Roch neighborhood for a downtown freeski and snowboard big air competition March 14-17. The Quebec World Cup will serve as the final big air competition of the FIS World Cup season and Crystal Globes are on the line.

“Super excited to head to Quebec next week for one last big air of the season,” said 2019 FIS World Championship silver medalist Julia Krass (Hanover, N.H.). “After world champs it’ll be nice to get another big air under my belt and hopefully get another good result. It’s been an interesting year on the competition side of things, especially with a lot of weather, so I’m excited to go to a big air where hopefully things will run well and we can have some fun! I’ve never done a scaffolding jump so that’ll definitely be different but it’ll be really cool to compete at night right in Quebec City.”

American freeskiers joining Krass in Quebec include two-time Olympic medalist Nick Goepper (Lawrenceburg, Ind.), Kiernan Fagan (Brownfield, Maine) and Ryan Stevenson (Washington, NJ).  

For the snowboarders, U.S. Snowboard Team members Ryan Stassel (Anchorage, Alaska) and the 2018 Quebec World Cup big air winner Julia Marino (Westport, Conn.) will compete and put on a show for downtown Quebec to close out the FIS World Cup season.

With a spectacular venue in the heart of downtown Quebec and diehard fans that are second to none, the Quebec FIS Snowboard World Cup will be a show you do not want to miss. Catch the action live and head out to the St-Roch neighborhood in Quebec City, or tune in on NBC.
