RECOMMENDED HOTELS ON THE CIRCUIT

October 2024: Brisbane

Travel for freestyle aerial ski athletes will always have its ups and downs — from lost luggage to exciting cultural discoveries — but the lessons, friendships, and thrill of the competition make every journey worthwhile.

Having reliable accommodations can help ease some of the stress that comes with life on the road, ensuring that when you finally get to step out onto the snow, you’re able to focus on what you do best — soaring high and pushing the limits of freestyle aerial skiing.

Below is a list of hotels that I have found welcoming and convenient, whether it’s because they’re close to the jump site, near major airports, or simply provide a warm bed after a long travel day.
