In the freestyle snow tricks competition athletes need to skate from the top of the slope through a snow pack, and finally jump in the air tumbling and landing. Ballet, in which athletes glide across the snow to music, has similarities to figure skating but is held on snow.

The aerials program requires athletes to sprint down a helper's ramp, jump off a platform, and then perform complex maneuvers in the air and land smoothly. The skis and poles used in snow and aerials are exactly the same as those used in alpine ski descents, with ballet using slightly shorter skis and longer poles.

Many athletes perform very dangerous maneuvers to win competitions. Dangerous maneuvers often led to accidents and injuries, and there were several very serious accidents. In order to change this impression, rules were started to be created and freestyle skiing events were managed accordingly.

Athletes competing on the slopes had to train in adequate pools, competitions were held on defined courses, and the rules of the game became clearer and clearer, all of which made it possible for freestyle skiing to finally evolve into a standardized, modern competitive sport.
