AerialsCompetitions consist of two jumps judged according to their execution with the resulting scores multiplied by a degree of difficulty. MogulsScores are determined by the addition of points for speed, the technical execution and two compulsory upright jumps. Dual MogulsCompetitors compete head to head on parallel mogul courses. Half PipeSkiers perform a series of jumps, tricks and manoeuvres in the halfpipe that are judged for their degree of difficulty and execution. Freestyle Ski CrossSkiers race against each other in groups of four to six on a specially built Freestyle Cross course that includes banked turns, jumps, waves and terrain and other freestyle skiing elements. |
