U.S Freestyle and Nordic Combined athletes will get a one-shot, winner-takes-all chance at making the 2010 U.S. Olympic Team as the U.S. Olympic Committee (USOC) and U.S. Ski and Snowboard Association (USSA) host the 2010 U.S. Olympic Team Trials in Steamboat Springs December 23rd and 24th. A total of five U.S. Olympic Team spots in moguls, aerials and Nordic Combined (Nordic jumping and cross country skiing) will be up for grabs in Steamboat-Ski Town, U.S.A. ®

Scheduled to air on NBC at 2:30 p.m. ET on December 26th, the 2010 U.S. Olympic Team Trials event, which complements the season-long selection process for the remainder of the team, offers athletes a direct ticket to the Games should they be skilled enough to win against a field of the nation's best. The format dates back to 1998 with a similar event held just prior to the 2002 Salt Lake Olympic Winter Games, and a freestyle only event in Steamboat prior to the 2006 Olympic Winter Games that were held in Turin, Italy.
