What is "slopestyle"?
Slopestyle is a winter sport in which competitors ski or snowboard down a course filled with features like jumps, rails, and boxes, performing tricks that are scored for points. The judges award points based on difficulty, creativity, style, and execution of these tricks. The idea is to combine the moves with daring tricks while maintaining flow throughout the run. Slopestyle requires good balance, enthusiasm, and expressiveness, with athletes carefully planning synchronized runs under the limitation of the course's features in order to boost their scores.
