ABOUT SNOWBOARDING
Slopestyle & Big Air
Slopestyle is a discipline that consists of rail features and jump features which athletes must link together from top to bottom. Big Air is a discipline that consists of one large jump that athletes perform impressive and technical tricks on.
Slopestyle and Big Air are judged events, meaning each run the athlete takes is scored by a panel of judges. The run is evaluated based on progression, amplitude, variety, execution and difficulty. The score is out of 100 points.
