During the 2025–2026 winter season, the 10th Nanshan Freeski Open will take place from January 23 to 25, 2026, at Nanshan Resort, confirming its position as one of Asia’s leading freeski slopestyle events. Founded in 2015 by Nanshan Resort, the competition has grown steadily over the years, maintaining high standards and earning recognition as an AFP Gold Medal event in Asia.
Across nine successful editions, the Nanshan Freeski Open has welcomed more than 50 world-class athletes from over 10 countries, including the United States, France, New Zealand, Italy, and Japan. The event has built a strong international reputation, consistently attracting experienced riders and emerging talents to Beijing.
The 2026 edition marks a major milestone, celebrating ten years of competition and progression. Athletes will compete on a dedicated slopestyle course, designed to reward creativity, control, and technical execution. The event is open to Adult and Junior categories, creating space for both established competitors and the next generation of freeskiers.
Beyond the contest itself, the Nanshan Freeski Open supports the long-term growth of freestyle skiing in China. Since 2018, its Youth Training Support Program has helped develop new talent, and in 2024 the event was named one of Beijing’s Top 10 Sporting Events, highlighting its impact on the national freestyle scene.
