Freestyle skiing

Freestyle skiing is a competitive discipline combining skiing with jumps, tricks, terrain features, or rapid passage through obstacles. Its events include moguls, aerials, ski cross, halfpipe, slopestyle, and big air.

Moguls: A freestyle skiing event in which skiers descend a mogul-covered course and perform two required jumps. This event tests rapid turns and aerial maneuvers across a field of bumps.
FIS scoring system for freestyle skiing: The judging and timing rules used by the International Ski and Snowboard Federation for freestyle skiing events. Different event formats require different ways to combine execution, difficulty, and time.
Ski ballet: A former freestyle skiing event featuring choreographed routines performed on skis to music. It shows how freestyle skiing once included a judged performance event beyond its current major formats.
Alpine skiing: A family of ski racing events in which competitors descend a course against the clock. Alpine racing prioritizes timed course performance rather than freestyle tricks or head-to-head freestyle formats.
Winter X Games: An annual action-sports competition featuring events such as freestyle skiing and snowboarding. Its high-profile contests helped popularize freestyle skiing beyond traditional championship circuits.
Aerial skiing: A freestyle skiing event in which athletes launch from ramps and perform judged aerial maneuvers. It centers the discipline on complex jumps and controlled landings.
Mogul skiing technique: The turning, absorption, and aerial skills used to ski a mogul course efficiently. Moguls make line choice and bump absorption visible parts of performance.
FIS Freestyle Ski World Championships: The international championship series for freestyle skiing events organized by the International Ski and Snowboard Federation. The championships helped establish shared international competition formats.
Snowboarding: A winter sport in which a rider descends snow on a single board attached to both feet. Several freestyle events have snowboard counterparts, but freestyle skiing uses two skis.
Ski helmet: Protective headgear designed to reduce injury risk while skiing. Freestyle jumps, obstacles, and collisions make head protection a central safety concern.
