Two-time Olympian Peterson attempted his signature "Hurricane" move in the final four years ago but failed. In fact, a more conservative leap would have earned the American nicknamed "Speedy" a medal.
This time, the 28-year-old will give his all to convince the judges with the "Hurricane" jump. And teammate Ryan St Onge is also going to compete for the title.
Kushnier, who finished eighth at the Turin Games, pushed himself forward this season by grabbing four golds, one silver and one bronze from six World Cup races.
Yet, China could be more confident in the women's team as the squad is even stronger than the one in Turin.
The 27-year-old Li clinched her third consecutive world title last year and would be relaxed towards her third Olympic Games. Olympic debutant Xu Mengtao was only behind Li at the 2009 World Championships and the 20-year-old hopeful leads the difficult degree in the women's field.
In the moguls, defending champions Dale Begg-Smith and Jennifer Heil are still hot favourite.
The Canadian-born Begg-Smith, 25, who had knee reconstruction surgery almost a year ago, came back strongly with three World Cup golds this season.
The 26-year-old Heil topping the World Cup podium four times this season, is surely among the host's prime hopes for gold in Vancouver.
As for ski cross, the debut event at the Winter Olympics, athletes from Austria, France as well as Canada have achieved great results at World Cup competitions.
