Freeskiing

Freeskiing, or “Newschool” skiing is a specific type of skiing.
It is a subset of Freestyle skiing, although many participants view it as a separate sport and do not refer to it as freestyle.

towns and cities to perform
tricks also done in the
snowpark.

parks, which are designed
specifically for tricks.

speeds, large drops and avalanches.

What equipment is
used for
“New School”
skiing.
There are three
kinds of
“newschool” skis:
Powder, All-Mountain
and Park.

Powder skis, also called big-mountain or
backcountry skis, have a wide waist width,
making them ideal for places with heavy powder.
That extra surface area helps skiers to float
above premium powder.
However, they can be difficult to use on slopes
with less snow or groomed trails,
especially for beginner skiers.

Most Alpine skis fall into this category.
All-Mountain skis are designed to
perform in all types of snow conditions and
at most speeds.

Park skis are often designed
with a more
symmetrical shape to make
switch (backwards) skiing
much easier and reinforced
edges to withstand rails.
