The highest level of snowboarding will be on display over the next couple of weeks at Milano Cortina 2026. Snowboarding’s presence at the Olympics has grown exponentially since its introduction at Japan’s 1998 Nagano Winter Olympics, and is now one of the Games’ most-watched sports. Snowboarders will have the chance to win gold at 11 events in Italy, including Halfpipe, Slopestyle, and Big Air.

At a Glance: How to Watch Olympic Snowboarding

The biggest Snowboarding storyline at Milano Cortina centers on Chloe Kim, who won gold for her Halfpipe performances in 2018 (when she was just 17 years old) and 2022. Despite a torn labrum in her shoulder, Kim will be back at this year’s Winter Olympics. A third gold medal would tie her with Shaun White for the most Snowboarding gold medals and solidify her spot as one of (if not the) greatest snowboarder of all time.
