About Freestyle
In its earliest days, freestyle skiing- named for the "free" and creative element introduced by athletes, who resisted traditional alpine and nordic skiing- included everything-in-one-run competition. Skiers were graded on a run that included ballet, moguls and a modest aerial maneuver. Today freestyle skiing is made up of six different disciplines; aerials, halfpipe, moguls, dual moguls, ski cross and slopestyle. Moguls was added to the Olympic program in 1992, aerials was added in 1994 and the fast paced Ski Cross will debut at the 2010 Olympic Games.
