What is SuperPipe?

Known as Half Pipe at the first three X Games events, the discipline’s name was changed to SuperPipe for X Games Mount Snow 2000 to reflect its super growth.

Sometimes called the U-ditch or frozen taco, SuperPipe is a long, U-shaped course with steep walls and tightly compacted snow -- competition pipes are rock hard to allow competitors better launch and more consistent takeoffs and landings.

Athletes traverse back and forth across the pipe, throwing tricks above the pipe’s “deck.” Competitors can soar more than 20 feet above the deck, or around 45 feet above the pipe’s flatbottom. That’s more than 4 stories high! Depending on the angle of their approach and the distance traveled down the pipe with each trick, SuperPipe competitors usually log between 4-6 tricks in a full run.

Watch the Monster Energy Men’s Snowboard Slopestyle highlights from X Games Aspen 2024!

What is Slopestyle?

Slopestyle is based on terrain parks that are found at many winter resorts. X Games Slopestyle courses usually are comprised of between 6 and 8 feature sections broken down into 3-4 “jibs” (sometimes known as a rail garden) and 3-4 jumps. Jibs are rails, boxes, cannons and other artificial obstacles designed to slide and trick onto/out of.

X Games jumps are huge, usually covering 55 to 70 feet in distance from takeoff to knuckle, which means athletes sometimes travel around 90 feet from takeoff to a jump’s landing’s sweetspot.

The X Games Big Air course is a single jump that lives up to its name -- the booter is always one of the largest jumps athletes will face all season.

Depending on the year, X Games Big Air competitors take 4-6 attempts, with their best two jumps comprising their total score. Each trick/jump is judged on a 0-50 scale, so an athlete’s best possible Big Air score is 100.
