Freestyle skiing
is an exciting dicipline
gaining in popularity.
It consists of several events that broadens the scope of what skiing
is all about.
Aerials
In the aerial portion of freestyle skiing the competitions consist
of two jumps. These are judged according to their execution with
the resulting scores multiplied by a degree of difficulty.
Acro
The acro is a choreographed routine that is performed while skiing
down a slope. It can consist of spins and turns and other acrobatic
moves. The skiier is judged on the technical manoeuvres and artistic
appreciation.
Moguls
The moguls are a series of bumps and the resulting valleys with
two air bumps for take-off of aerial maneuvers that are skiied as
quickly as possible.The competition is held on a steep (about 26
degree) run.The scores in moguls are determined by the addition
of points for speed, the technical execution and two compulsory
upright jumps.
Big Air
Upright aerials are performed off jumps. The skiiers do maneuvers
that mainly consist of twists, spins and positions.
Dual Moguls
This is when two competitors compete head to head on parallel mogul
courses.
