Snow League’s inaugural series returns in December 2025 with a stop at Secret Garden, China, followed by a return to Aspen’s Buttermilk and the finale in Switzerland. Halfpipe skiing will be added to the lineup moving forward, according to White.

At the debut competition in the legend’s Snow League startup, snowboarders envision a future that includes sustainable careers.

A new kind of halfpipe contest, the Snow League is Shaun White’s brainchild and Aspen was given the first chance to showcase what he hopes will be the future of the sport.

Among White's biggest coups as he put together his league was to get Hirano to sign on. The Snow League will add halfpipe skiing at its next event, in China in December, and if White can close a deal to bring Olympic champion Eileen Gu onto that circuit, he'll have arguably the biggest star in action sports.

The first of event of the Snow League, a competition tour for snowboarders and freeskiers founded by three-time Olympic gold medalist Shaun White, airs live this Friday and Saturday on Peacock. Aspen's Snowmass resort in Colorado hosts snowboard halfpipe competition in a head-to-head format.

Shaun White, the snowboard icon who helped bring the sport to the masses, is launching “The Snow League” this week in Aspen and it could spark a change in how competitions are approached.

First Event Begins This Friday, March 7, at 11:30 a.m. ET Exclusively on Peacock; Encore Presentation on NBC on Saturday, March 29, at 1 p.m. ET
