Park City Native Nick Page Third in Ruka Moguls World Cup

Nick Page, raised in Park City, delivered a strong start to the 2025 2026 moguls season when he finished third in the solo moguls event at the World Cup stop in Ruka, Finland on December 7, 2025. Page posted a score of 79.62 and trailed Sweden's Walter Wallberg and Japan's Ikuma Horishima. He also recorded a fourth place in a separate solo event during the Ruka competition, signaling consistency as the international circuit moves into full swing.

The U S team showed depth at the season opener, with strong results across both men and women that reinforce the program's competitiveness leading into the winter competition calendar. For Park City and nearby Deer Valley, Page's podium adds to a pattern of local athletes translating area training and competition opportunities into world stage results. That track record contributes to local reputation and can shape decisions by event organizers, sponsors, and public officials about where to invest in facilities and youth development.

Local impact is tangible. A podium finish by a homegrown athlete raises visibility for youth ski programs that feed national teams and can encourage higher participation in freestyle disciplines. It also supports the region's appeal to visitors seeking world class training terrain and events, which in turn affects tax receipts, winter season business, and civic planning for transportation and public safety during peak periods. City and county leaders who oversee recreation and economic development can point to outcomes like Page's as evidence when considering budgets, facility maintenance, and partnerships with national sport organizations.

As the World Cup season progresses, Page's Ruka results position him among the athletes to watch and sustain attention on Park City as a production ground for elite skiers. For residents, the performance affirms local coaching and training systems and offers a near term boost to community pride while informing longer term discussions about supporting sport infrastructure and youth engagement in winter athletics.
