Snowboard was one of the most exhilarating events from the 2002 Olympic Winter Games, igniting a generation of excitement for the sport in Utah and across America. The 2002 Olympic venue of Park City Mountain has continued its legacy in snowboarding, playing host to regular FIS World Cup events and FIS Snowboard World Championships, including the showcasing of new Olympic events of slopestyle and big air. In 2014, Park City native Sage Kotsenburg took gold in the Olympic debut of slopestyle. With its expansion of events since 2002, snowboarding will likely be contested over multiple venues.
