Freestyle Skiing
A Brief Overview:
Moguls - competitors
are challenged by a steep (23-32 degrees) 200-270 metre long bump-covered
course. Scores are based on technical turning ability and strong, aggressive
fall-line skiing. Two spontaneous upright jumps must be performed during
each run with minimal interruption to the line of the run or to the rhythm
of the turns.
Aerials - the
site consist of an in-run, where the skier builds speed, leading to several
ramps (kickers and floaters) and a landing area 34-39 degrees steep and
30 metros long. In the aerial event, the skier must perform two different
jumps, wither in an upright or inverted position.
Ballet - the
event is held on a gentle slope (10-14 degrees) 250-270 metres long. Each
competitor performs a choreographed routine for two and a quarter minutes.
Similar to figure skating, the routine is composed of a variety of spins,
dance-like steps, multiple rotation jumps, and ‹ unique to freestyle skiing.
Combined -
although skiers must compete in one or more events, only those who take
part in all three are considered combined skiers. They are eligible for
combined medals at each competition.
