The Olympic Regional Development Authority (ORDA) and the United States Olympic & Paralympic Committee (USOPC) revealed that the Olympic Jumping Complex and Mount Van Hoevenberg will stage the event to choose the US team for Beijing 2022 on December 24 and 25.

Lake Placid was home to competition during the 1932 and 1980 Olympic Winter Games.

While as many as five men and women in each discipline will earn selection on the US team for Beijing 2022, only the winner in each discipline is guaranteed a spot at the Winter Olympic Games in the Chinese capital.

Full teams are due to be announced in late January.

"The USOPC is thrilled to partner with ORDA to host the Olympic Trials for ski jumping and Nordic combined in Lake Placid," Kelly Skinner, the USOPC vice-president of winter sport, said.

"With the amazing revitalisation of Lake Placid's iconic ski Jumps, and new, state-of-the-art Nordic facilities at Mount Van Hoevenberg, New York State and ORDA are providing world-class venues to US athletes for years to come."

The event is expected feature top athletes representing USA Nordic Sport, including: three-time Nordic combined Olympian Taylor Fletcher, looking to make his fourth team, and Nina Lussi, a Lake Placid native attempting to earn her first Olympic appearance.

"I am thrilled to have the Olympic Trials back in Lake Placid, the place where I learned Nordic combined," said Billy Demong, the chief executive of USA Nordic Sport and Olympic gold medallist.

"The youth and depth of the athletes preparing for their chance to make it to Beijing remind me of my team-mates - this will certainly be a Christmas holiday the competitors and fans will never forget."

ORDA has modernised the Olympic Jumping Complex, installing frost rails on the in-runs, re-contouring both outruns and adding summer surfaces for year-round training capabilities, upgrading the snowmaking system, and installing a new ADA-compliant gondola and glass elevator.

In addition, the Sky Flyer Zipline and the Intervals Lodge complete the guest experience.

ORDA also completed upgrades at Mount Van Hoevenberg including 5,000 metres of new world-class trails, an energy-efficient snowmaking system and a 30-point biathlon range.

The new trail systems are adjacent to the new Mountain Pass Lodge, a 50,000 square foot facility with integrated competition services, elite training facilities, and new recreational opportunities for visitors.

It is all part of upgrades being carried out in preparation for when Lake Placid host the Winter World University Games in 2023.

"The recent improvements at the Lake Placid venues have made hosting important events like the U.S. Olympic Trials possible," said ORDA Board chair, Kelly Cummings.

"It is an incredible honour for ORDA to welcome the finest ski jumping and Nordic combined athletes in the United States as they aim to achieve their Olympic goals."

Demong won America’s only Olympic gold medal in Nordic combined in the individual large hill/10 kilometres at Vancouver 2010, where he also won a silver as part of the US team in the 4x5km relay.

Vancouver 2010 was particularly successful for the US as Johnny Spillane also won silver medals in the individual large hill/10km behind Demong and in the individual normal hill/10km, as well as being part of the relay team.

America has only ever won one medal in ski jumping, when the Norwegian-born Anders Haugen took bronze in the individual large hill event at Chamonix 1924 in the first Winter Olympic Games.
