Slopestyle, also known as snowboard freestyle competition, is an extreme sport. Among the various types of snowboarding competitions, the slopestyle competition has become the most enjoyable event due to the long trails and execution of breathtaking tricks.

Snowboarding is a young event in the big family of Winter Olympics. It only entered the Nagano Winter Olympics in 1998, during which time there were only 4 individual events.

The Olympic snowboarding events for 2022 Winter Olympics are located at the Genting Snow Park, the city of Zhangjiakou, 150 miles away from Beijing.

The course is specially designed in the shape of the Great Wall of China, which helps block the high wind from the athletes during the events.

The top of the course consists of three jib sections where riders show their stylish rail tricks before giving way to three jump sections.
