All skis must have functioning release bindings certified to DIN/ISO standards. Bindings must be set according to the athlete's weight, ability level, and discipline.

Ski Cross — new for 2026/27: cut-resistant base-layer garments (top and pants) became mandatory competition equipment for all Ski Cross athletes beginning with the 2026/27 season, alongside the red...

Poles: Mandatory for Moguls (used for balance and rhythm). Optional for other disciplines. Exposed sharp points are prohibited.; Speed suit: Permitted in Moguls for aerodynamic advantage. Must not incorporate rigid fairings or non-textile panels.

Length: 220–270 m (722–886 ft).; Width: Minimum 18 m (59 ft). The course is carved into natural or machine-built mogul bumps approximately 1.2 m (4 ft) apart trough-to-trough.; Gradient: 26–32 degrees. A consistent pitch ensures uniform bump formation.

Kickers: Three snow-built jump ramps with table heights of 2.0 m (6.6 ft), 3.2 m (10.5 ft), and 3.8 m (12.5 ft). The 3.8 m kicker is used for triple somersault dives.; In-run: A steep, groomed in-run track approximately 60–70 m (197–230 ft) long, allowing athletes to reach takeoff speeds of 55–65...

Length: Minimum 150 m (492 ft).; Width: 19–22 m (62–72 ft) from lip to lip.; Wall height: 6.0–7.0 m (19.7–23.0 ft), commonly referred to as a "22-foot superpipe" (measured as the vertical height of the transition wall).

Length: Minimum 400 m (1,312 ft).; Width: Minimum 30 m (98 ft).; Features: 6–9 features arranged in sections — typically a jib section (rails, boxes, wall rides) followed by a jump section (2–3 progressively larger jumps with gap distances of 10–25 m / 33–82 ft).

Length: 800–1,200 m (2,625–3,937 ft).; Vertical drop: 130–250 m (427–820 ft).; Features: Banked turns (berms), rollers, step-ups, step-downs, and tabletop jumps. Course design must allow 4 athletes to race side-by-side at all points.

Moguls and Aerials: Individual competition. Field sizes typically 20–30 athletes per gender.; Halfpipe and Slopestyle: Individual runs. Qualification rounds narrow the field to 12 finalists.; Ski Cross: Head-to-head heats with 4 athletes per heat. A timed qualification run seeds the bracket.

Moguls: 7 judges total — 5 turns judges (high and low dropped, 3 counting) and 2 air judges (scores averaged). A pace time system independently calculates the speed score.; Aerials: 5 judges score each jump. High and low are dropped; 3 counting scores are summed and multiplied by the DD.; Halfpip...
