The History of Freestyle

25th June 2025

Freestyle skiing debuted as a demonstration sport at the Calgary 1988 Winter Olympics, featuring moguls, aerials, and ski ballet.

Moguls became the first medal event at Albertville 1992, followed by aerials at Lillehammer 1994.

The sport continued to grow with ski cross added in Vancouver 2010, half-pipe and slopestyle in Sochi 2014, and most recently, big air and mixed team aerials at Beijing 2022.
