Moguls and Aerials | The Basics of Freestyle Skiing
Freestyle skiing has seen a rise in popularity in recent years. It is showcased not only at extreme sports events like X-Games, but is also recognized as an Olympic sport. Both moguls and aerials, the two major types of freestyle skiing, are medal events in the Olympics, and newer freestyle skiing styles are popping up all the time.
Moguls
Moguls were the first freestyle skiing event to become an Olympic medal event. In mogul skiing, skiers must ski down a slope where they turn around large bumps, or moguls. There are also two jumps in the run, which they must perform a jump or trick off of. The course itself is short and steep usually about 30 degrees and about 700-900 feet long.
