Skicross
A slope with obstacles
Ski cross involves skiing down a predetermined slope prepared with obstacles such as waves or banked turns.
Excitement and spectacle
The simultaneous start, daring overtaking maneuvers in the tightest of spaces, including physical contact, ensure excitement and spectacle right up to the finish.
The fastest of the heat
Four athletes always compete at the same time, with the two fastest athletes in each heat progressing to the next round. This knockout phase is reached via the preceding qualification, which is run in individual time trials.
Freeski
Halfpipe
The halfpipe is a half snow pipe, open at the top, in which the athletes perform 5-8 tricks, depending on the length, and jump up to 5 meters over the edge of the halfpipe. The height, difficulty, style and number of tricks are judged.
Slopestyle
Here the athletes ride through a course that resembles a skate course and is made up of various jumps and obstacles, also known as slide elements. The athletes are free to choose which obstacles and which tricks they combine. The performance is judged in terms of difficulty, variation and combination of tricks as well as the height of the jumps and the style.
Freeski
Higher, further, more spectacular - that's freeskiing. This action-packed sport is the counterpart to freestyle snowboarding (only on two boards) and has the same three disciplines: slopestyle, big air and halfpipe.
Big Air
In big air, the athletes go high: when jumping over a large ramp (kicker), they jump up to 25 meters wide and 7 meters high. The judges assess various criteria such as the jump, difficulty and style of the trick performed and the landing.
Aerials and Moguls
Aerials
This discipline is also known as part of the former ski acrobatics. The athletes jump up to 15 meters almost vertically into the air, performing triple somersaults with up to five turns. The jump itself is up to 4 meters high and has an incline of almost 70 degrees. The competition consists of a qualifying jump and a final jump for the best 12 athletes after the qualifying round. The jump is judged by a total of five judges, the landing by two, and the total score is then multiplied by the difficulty level of the jump.
Aerials Mixed Team
Each team consists of three athletes of your choice. There must be at least one man or one woman in the team. Otherwise, the same requirements/conditions and judging criteria apply as in the singles competition.
Moguls
Moguls is a discipline in which a slope interspersed with bumps has to be conquered in the fall line. It is all about speed, elegance and dynamism. Two jumps must also be performed. In addition to the time, the technique, level of difficulty and execution of the jumps are also assessed.
Dual Moguls
This is a competition in a knockout system. The athletes start at the same time. The rules are identical to the individual competition. It is not necessarily the faster athlete who wins, but the athlete with the better overall score for the run.
