COP couldn't hold slopestyle. It isn't big enough.
The halfpipe would work. Ours is 22 ft, same as the x-games. But I don't know the length.
COP currently holds moguls, but talking with a couple of the national team athletes, it's the worst course on the circuit. Something about the angle change in the middle, so that would have to be fixed. There isn't anywhere for Big Air.
The ski jumps are useless. I'm pretty sure a crap ton of money was paid in 2015 to maintain it and only the small jumps are used for training a few athletes. I would have to find that article. The top of the large jump houses powerwatts.
Also, parking at COP is horrible. I guess you could had a parking lot west of winsport and shuttle people.

Nakiska could easily take on Slopestyle, and Moguls. They already do ski cross nationals there, and could probably add big air out there as well.
For downhill skiing, it would be ideal at Lake Louise.
