Aerialists FreeStyle Skiing Tickets, usually built of wood, sometimes metal and then covered with snow, that propel them up to 40-50 feet in the air. Once in the air, professional aerialists perform multiple flips and twists before landing on a 34- to 39-degree inclined landing hill about 100 feet in length. The top male aerialists can currently perform triple back flips with up to four or five twists. Quadruple back flips have been performed on snow (purposely) by four men: Frank Bare, Matt Chojnaki, Eric Bergoust and Nicholas Fontaine. Currently quad flips are not legal in competition. There are two varieties of aerial skiing competitions: upright and inverted. In upright aerials, movements in which a skier’s feet come higher than his or her head are illegal. This is the most common type of aerials competition for junior competitors. In inverted aerials, skiers execute elaborate flips and somersaults. Scoring Aerial skiing is a judged sport, and competitors are judged on jump takeoff (20%), jump form (50%) and landing (30%). A degree of difficulty (DD) is then factored in for a total score. Mogul skiing Mogul skiing is a type of freestyle skiing where skiers ski terrain characterized by a large number of different bumps, or “moguls.” Ski ballet No longer a part of competitive freestyle skiing, ski ballet (later renamed acroski) was a third freestyle discipline. Competitions were conducted from the late-1960s until the mid-1990s. Ballet involved a choreographed routine of flips, rolls, leg crossings, jumps, and spins performed on a smooth slope. After the mid-1970s the routine was performed to music for 90 seconds. A panel of judges scored the performance. It was a demonstration sport in the 1988 and 1992 Winter Olympics. Skiercross Ski cross (also known as skiercross or skier-X) is a relatively new type of skiing competition. It is based on the motorbike discipline of motocross. Despite it being a timed racing event, it is often considered part of freestyle skiing because it incorporates terrain features traditionally found in freestyle. In a time trial or qualification round, every competitor skis down the course, which is built to encompass both naturally occurring terrain and artificial features like jumps, rollers, banks — whatever the course builder can imagine. After the time trial, the fastest 16 (in women’s events) or 32 skiers (in men’s events) compete in a knockout (KO)-style series in rounds of four. A group of four skiers start simultaneously and attempt to reach the end of the course. The first two to cross the finish line will advance to the next round. At the end, the final and small final rounds determine 1st to 4th and 5th to 8th places, respectively. Competitors are not allowed to pull or push each other during the KO finals. Any intentional contact to the other competitors will be penalized by disqualification or exclusion from the next race. 
The International Ski Federation (FIS)’s FIS Freestyle Skiing World Cup has recently added ski cross competitions to its calendar in addition to moguls and aerials. You will find the competition calendar, results, biographies of athletes, news and more on World Cup, Europa Cup and FIS ranked events. The International Olympic Committee decided on November 28, 2006, to include ski cross in the programme of the 2010 Winter Olympics at Vancouver.
The first company to market twin tip skis was Salomon in 1997-1998. freestyle Skiing began to gain more popularity and companies started making backcountry style twin tips for skiers to push the limits of freestyle Skiing and take it away from the snowparks. Salomon celebrated the 10th year anniversary of the 1080 during IF3 International freestyle Skiing Film Festival in 2008. When freeskiing began in the late 1990’s only a select few resorts were home to a terrain park. Over the past decade most mountains have adopted the idea of have a terrain park, if not two or more. Most parks include features such as: step-up jumps, step-down jumps, tabletop jumps, boxes, and rails. Terrain park crews have been taking concepts even further recently though adding miscellaneous features like cars, empty propane tanks, barrels, and even small cabins that can be ridden or used as a place to warm up to the landscape of the park. In the western US the park features tend to be larger than those in the east, in relation to the size of mountains.
