Telluride will once again host the U.S. Snowboard World Cup, and will feature both SBX (snowboardcross) and PGS (parallel giant slalom) competitions on the slopes in Mountain Village.

Telluride was named Rookie Partner of the Year for its success in hosting the U.S. Snowboarding World Cup in 2009, which served as a pivotal qualifying event for top athletes like Olympic champion Seth Wescott. The resort made the major commitment to host an elite event and provided exclusive pre-season training for snowboardcross and ski cross athletes over the last two years. According to USSA Vice President, Events Calum Clark, "Telluride delivered a world class event as if the resort had been organizing World Cups for years."
