This Apex-hosted event will be one of four NorAm competitions held this season across Canada and the United States. 'Winners of the NorAm Cup may earn a spot on World Cup teams for the following season and an opportunity to represent their nation at the 2026 Olympic Winter Games,' the Freestyle Apex Club said in a press release.This year's Apex FIS NorAm Cup event will feature both male and female athletes: 50 Canadians, 50 Americans, and 30 from outside North America. The competition will take place on the mountain's three-lane mogul run, highly visible for spectators from the Apex Mountain Resort village. Athletes will navigate a 220-meter mogul course, perform aerial maneuvers over two sets of jumps, and land safely to continue through more moguls before crossing the finish line. 'A panel of seven highly-ranked international judges will evaluate athletes on criteria including smooth turns, bump absorption, jump difficulty, and execution,' the club added in its release. Planned events include: February 20th - Course Development; February 21st - Practice; February 22nd - Single Moguls Competition; February 23rd - Dual Moguls Competition. All events are free to watch. Apex Freestyle Club alumni Grady Parsons — as well as club athletes Jackson Kendell and Emelie McCaughey — will be performing forerunner duties
