Freestyle skier Etienne Geoffroy-Gagnon began the World Cup season with a slopestyle competition in Austria last November and a big air competition, also in Austria, this month.
Geoffroy-Gagnon competed in the Stubai, Austria, slopestyle event on Nov. 21, 2020, finishing 30th overall. In the big air competition held in Kreischberg, Austria, on Jan. 8, he finished 37th.
The national team skier finished sixth overall in slopestyle on last year’s World Cup tour.
Big and slopestyle have been hit particularly hard by COVID-19, with four of eight calendar events cancelled outright. The next scheduled World Cup slopestyle event is March 19 to 21 in Font Romeu, France.
