Freestyle+Skiing

There are three types of freestyle skiing in the Olympics. The first is the moguls. In moguls, you ski down a large hill with two bumps, or moguls. One bump is near the top, and one is at the bottom. Skiers perform tricks on these bumps, and are awarded points for the quality of the tricks they performed. The second type of freestyle skiing is aerials.On the aerials course, there is a small, medium, and large jump. Skiers pick two of these jumps and perform tricks. They get points for the amount of flips and twists they do before they hit the ground. The last type of freestyle skiing, the ski cross, is new to the Olympics this year. In the ski cross, there are four skier at once on the slope. They race down the slope while navigating jumps and turns to the finish line. More points are awarded to those with better times.
