On Friday and Saturday nights at the Utah Olympic Park, the Flying Ace All-Stars will return for their 34th season this summer.  The Flying Aces is a team of 30 world-class freestyle skiers who put on acrobatic shows for public and private audiences. Each summer they put on shows on Friday and Saturday nights for the public in the summers at the Olympic Park.  The Aces are led by Flying Ace Productions President and CEO Kris “Fuzz” Feddersen, a three-time Olympic aerialist (1988, 1992 and 1994 Winter Games). Feddersen is excited to once again welcome audiences new and old to the Olympic Park. The 2026 Milano Cortina Olympics saw numerous Flying Aces compete and even medal.  “Originally, we weren’t sure if we were going to have a summer of shows,” Feddersen said. “They were going to be working on this construction project to put a hotel up there. … But with the postponement of that construction, we have a summer.” Feddersen said he, his team and the athletes snapped quickly into action to ready their programming. The pool, which as of January was set to close July 15, will now be open until at least late August. In addition to the pool hosting Flying Ace shows, it also serves as the training ground for additional Olympic, local and visiting athletes.  While the shows will be the same as summers past, Feddersen said each one is unique because each athlete has unique tricks and abilities. Only eight of the 30 athletes participate in each public show. Up to 12 participate in private shows.  “It’s always a lot of fun trying to figure out how we’re going to make it work when we throw in some new athletes or athletes that have different skills,” Feddersen said.  The shows are a big opportunity for the athletes to make money in their offseasons. Feddersen said he always prioritizes giving opportunities to his stars like Connor Curran, part of the gold medal-winning mixed aerials team in Milano Cortina. Skiers from Park City Ski and Snowboard Club often join the shows.  The Flying Aces are still trying to book some of their private shows, with the everchanging schedule of the pool renovations wreaking some havoc.  “It’s in my blood, and I love it,” Feddersen said. “It’s probably the coolest job for me to be hanging out with these young athletes that are hucking themselves into the pool. … I think when people come to see our shows, they feel that energy that I feel.” Feddersen loves being part of these athletes’ journeys. He said that there were 15 skiers at Milano Cortina who have at one point been a part of the Flying Aces.  “It’s so much more fun than even watching a competition,” Feddersen said. “Because these athletes are doing competition jumps and our show jumps. … You really have got to come see it.” The post Flying Aces return to the Utah Olympic Park this weekend  appeared first on Park Record. ...read more read less
