Wait, isn't it sort of a given that it's in Aspen? Or is it another set of X Games-games?

That’s what I’m not sure about

Calgary has secured the exclusive rights to host Winter X-Games.

From an article:

"Organizers plan to host the games in late February or early March of 2020, 2021 and 2022, depending on corporate sponsorships. The province has committed $13.5 million over the next three years toward bringing the events to Calgary".

However, ESPN announced that Aspen had the rights for 5 more years after this year’s X Games

So I guess it means apart from Winter X Games Aspen and Winter X Games Norway (Oslo?) there's gonna be a third series?

Had a thought- Speed Skiing would be great for the X Games. I sent them a suggestion and they said they will consider it- could’ve just been being polite, but let’s hope

I don’t believe that there’s an X Games Norway this year
