Freestyle skiing

Winter Snow Sports

Freestyle skiing is a skiing discipline comprising aerials, moguls, cross, half-pipe, slopestyle and big air, and it forms part of the Winter Olympics. It can consist of a skier performing aerial flips and spins and can include skiers sliding rails and boxes on their skis. It was known as hot-dogging in the early 1970s and is also commonly referred to as freeskiing, jibbing and by many other names around the world. The article lead supports only this short account, so further history, governing body and event detail remain for a depth pass.
