Ski slopestyle makes its Olympic debut in 2014. Slopestyle athletes make their way down, through and over a course comprised of a variety of obstacles including rails, jumps and other terrain park features — scoring points for amplitude, originality and quality of tricks. The discipline has its roots in action sports like skateboarding and BMX biking and has very successfully crossed over into the snow sports worlds of skiing and snowboard. Slopestyle is one of the most accessible snow sports, as virtually every ski resort has a terrain park where aspiring athletes can learn to jump, slide and jib. 3, record 2, English, - ski%20slopestyle

Les athlètes de slopestyle descendent un parcours ponctué d'une variété d'obstacles, notamment des rails, des rampes et autres modules que l'on trouve dans les parcs à neige – ils sont jugés sur l'amplitude, l'originalité et la qualité des manœuvres. La discipline est issue de sports d’action tels que la planche à roulettes et le BMX et a fait une entrée fulgurante dans le monde du ski et du surf des neiges. Le slopestyle est l'un des sports de glisse les plus accessibles, étant donné que pratiquement tous les centres de ski possèdent un parc où les athlètes en herbe peuvent apprendre à sauter, à glisser et à faire des «jibs». 4, record 2, French, - descente%20acrobatique%20en%20ski

Ski jump. A skier changes positions several times during a jump. The jumper enters a crouched(or tuck) position down an inrun, springs outward and upward upon takeoff, leans forward throughout flight to maintain lift, bends the hips and knees and places one foot in front of the other into a telemark position for landing, and then straightens up and slows down throughout the outrun. The range of possible landing positions is marked by three points(norm, table, and K, or critical) on the landing hill. The norm point and the table point indicate the beginning and ending, respectively, of the normal landing area, while the K-point marks the last safe landing spot on that hill. 1, record 3, English, - norm%20point

The Rutschblock test(shear block) and it's cousin the Rutschkiel test... have rapidly become the standard snowpit test of choice for avalanche professional who do a lot of snowpits... First, on a slope of at least 30 degrees, isolate a block of snow about a ski length across, and a ski pole length up the slope(2 meters wide by 1. 5 meters upslope). If you use a snow saw which mounts on the end of an avalanche probe ski pole you can cut the block in under a minute... Next, simply step onto the block with your skis or snowboard on and jump progressively harder until the block fails. 6, record 5, English, - Rutschblock%20test
