The Moguls World Cup circuit is set to resume with back-to-back events in North America, beginning with competitions in Tremblant this week.

The Canadian municipality is due to host men's and women's competitions tomorrow and Saturday (January 8).

Moguls World Cup action then heads to Deer Valley in the United States next week.

The two events are taking place following a festive break.

Athletes competing in Deer Valley will have the final chance to hone their preparations for the upcoming 2022 Winter Olympic Games in Beijing, set to open on February 4.

The Freestyle Ski World Cup, which includes moguls events, was hit by a series of cancellations earlier this week.

Events were scheduled to held in Chiesa in Italy, Tazawako in Japan and Kuzbass in Russia but all three have now been cancelled.

Chiesa in Valmalenco was set to play host to a moguls race on January 23, but the International Ski Federation said it was unable to go ahead due to "consistent warm temperatures in the region".

This was due to be followed by moguls and dual moguls competitions in Tazawako from February 26 to 27 only for the stage to be called off because of "COVID-19 regulations in place in Japan".

The World Cup leg in moguls and dual moguls scheduled to take place in Kuzbass from March 5 to 6 has also been cancelled.

Japan's Ikuma Horishima leads the overall men's moguls standings, while Jakara Anthony of Australia occupies top spot on the women's leaderboard.
