First Look at the 2018 Winter Olympic Snowboarding Slopestyle Course

[Andrew]

This course looks insanely fun, and meticulously well built.
Note this course is not just for boarders, but also the freestyle skiers.

Wow, just "a bit" of work to build that. Impressive!

There are some crazy fun looking features. Can't wait to see what the riders do with some of them. Way more creative than most courses I have seen.

Those tilted kickers look wild.
Wondering how many are going to hit that long arc to arc rail.

Always a fun event to watch.

how much time do they get on the course before qualifying runs? Imagine they need to dial in their preferred features and speed.

Wow.......that course is impressive......looks very precise and fun for those who can actually ski/ride it.

The precision and the angles look so exact that the corse resembles a lego course that my kids would build.

Usually a day or so.

It was really cool to see Red Gerrard use this course so creatively to win the event. Most people took the same line, but he found something unique that really suited him.

So apparently not very happy with the organizers/FIS...

If you enjoy almost everyone falling, then yes a good event. The guys wasn't a whole lot better.

It's going to be interesting to see the skiing slopestyle, considering more than half the womens snowbard fell on every run.
