Olympic slopestyle snowboarders and freeskiers will throw down their best tricks starting Feb. 5 at Genting Snow Park. Athletes will be scored based on amplitude, difficulty, variety, execution and progression in six sections. The three jib sections at the top are where athletes can earn more technical points, while the three jump sections at the bottom are where more amplitude and progression points can be scored. Each jib section is lined with a snow wall designed to look like the Great Wall of China that helps protect athletes from the wind.
