Both the qualifying heat and the final consist in a descent down a steep slope, uniformly covered with moguls, in as short a time as possible, using the correct technique and executing two acrobatic manoeuvres.
The course
The course, 220/250 metres long, is uniformly covered with moguls, has a constant slope of 26/30 degrees. Two air bumps are constructed along the route in order to execute the acrobatic manoeuvres.

JUDGEMENT CRITERIA
Technique: 1. keep to the line of maximum slope; 2. use of moguls, minimum of one curve per mogul; 3. economy of movement; 4. absorption. The skis must as far as possible remain in contact with the snow; 5. carving; 6. position of the body; 7. use of ski sticks; 8. control of skis; 9. aggressivity.
Aerials: account is taken of the quality of the aerial manoeuvre (form and landing), as well as the height and spontaneity of the execution.
The score assigned by the judges is multiplied by the level of difficulty of the aerial executed.
Speed: the score is calculated on the basis of a mathematical formula.
Judges: athletes are judged by 7 judges. 5 of them judge technique (with the lowest and highest scores being rejected); 2 judge the aerials.
