Le sport se pratique dans un parcours enneigé en forme de demi-lune. Un panel de cinq juges qui accordent une note sur 100 évalue l'impression générale des descentes en tenant compte de l'amplitude, du style ainsi que de la diversité, de la difficulté et de l'exécution des manœuvres. Pour obtenir le pointage de la descente, on fait la moyenne des notes accordées par les juges. La compétition commence par une ronde de qualification où l'on retient la meilleure des deux descentes pour déterminer les 12 skieurs qui accéderont à la finale, disputée selon le même principe. 2, record 2, French, - ski%20demi%2Dlune

According to many snowboarders, jumping and freestyle is what snowboarding is all about. Therefore, in order to provide a designated and supervised area that does not threaten other skiers or snowboarders lives, many ski areas have built a half pipe to offer excellent jumping and freestyle potential. 1, record 4, English, - half%20pipe

Une demi-lune représente la moitié d'un tube creusé soit dans la neige ou dans le sol et recouvert de neige. La construction demande au minimum de 2 à 3 heures de travail de machinerie et une journée de travail à la pelle à quatre personnes. La demi-lune est la solution idéale pour pratiquer le style libre en toute sécurité et ainsi éviter que les planchistes sautent partout dans la montagne. 1, record 4, French, - demi%2Dlune
