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.
