All on-course photographers are required to attend the Photographer Briefing on Friday, February 23 at 4:30 pm PST at the Media Center. The On-Course Photo Armbands will be distributed at the Photographer Briefing - no exceptions will be made to provide course access Armbands to photographers who do not attend the briefing. 

FIS rules stipulate that photographers must be in position one hour prior to the start of the race. You may not leave or move from your on-course position until the final racer in the first run crosses the finish line and the course is clear. For those photographers not on course, there will be a photo platform located near the finish line in the Media Mixed Zone. The Photo Chief is Dustin Satloff.

Infront Sports & Media AG holds the international multimedia rights to this event. International television and radio networks, production or internet companies, news agencies, and any other entity asking for access for filming or report purposes need to send the accreditation requests directly to Infront for approval. This means that using any kind of filming device is strictly forbidden to a non-rights holder. No media may conduct video interviews or shoot video at the event without prior accreditation and the visible approved camera sticker. Accredited members of the media are not allowed to broadcast social media video (including, but not limited to, Instagram, TikTok, SnapChat, X, and Facebook Live) during the event. 

All international accreditation requests must be submitted to Infront Italy in advance for approval.

Broadcast rights for video transmission outside the USA are handled by Infront. This encompasses all forms of television and Internet transmission. Subject to the prior authorization from the domestic rights holder (U.S. Ski & Snowboard), should you also wish to broadcast your videos outside the USA (TV and/or Internet), you must obtain a proper authorization from Infront.

Approved video media cannot use material from the race venue, including interviews, until after 5:00 pm PST both Saturday and Sunday. All videos from the race venue must be restricted to U.S. viewers only, including social media. 

Due to the international and national multimedia rights, no on-course video will be allowed. However, U.S. Ski & Snowboard will be sharing a race highlights video package (including on-course video and post-race interviews) with domestic broadcast following the race. 

Domestic broadcast wishing to conduct live or recorded stand ups must use one of the designated stand up locations within the resort. Please visit the Media Center for a list of approved locations.
